This article examined the impact of online education on the wellbeing and emotional health of college students. It considered the social value of stress and anxiety pathology as "normal" side effects throughout the COVID-19 lockdown. Factors appropriate for educational technology were selected and submitted for evaluation to a sample of 114 college students in a semi-structured questionnaire. This research found that educational content and delivery methods, as well as increased homework and time spent online, have potentially contributed to heightened levels of stress, depression, and social anxiety disorder among approximately one-third of students who have engaged in digital learning. The results also prove that young people were particularly susceptible to stress and social anxiety disorders during the lockdown, making them one of the most vulnerable social groups. To enhance the educational experience, several suggestions have been proposed, including adapting educational content, expanding Internet accessibility, providing appropriate homework, and adjusting schedules to accommodate students' educational capabilities. Voluntary routine mental health assessments of students, teachers, and staff and customized online counseling for vulnerable subjects are recommended as primary health care measures during online education.
本文探讨了在线教育对大学生幸福感和情绪健康的影响。研究将压力和焦虑病理的社会价值视为新冠疫情封锁期间 “正常” 的副作用。选取了适合教育技术的因素，并通过半结构化问卷向114名大学生样本进行评估。研究发现，教育内容和授课方式，以及家庭作业增加和上网时间增多，可能导致约三分之一参与数字学习的学生压力、抑郁和社交焦虑症水平升高。结果还证明，年轻人在封锁期间特别容易受到压力和社交焦虑症的影响，这使他们成为最脆弱的社会群体之一。为了改善教育体验，提出了一些建议，包括调整教育内容、扩大互联网接入、布置适量家庭作业以及调整时间表以适应学生的学习能力。建议在在线教育期间，将对学生、教师和工作人员进行自愿常规心理健康评估以及为弱势群体提供定制在线咨询作为主要医疗保健措施。
