Online learning dexterity, or the ability to effortlessly adapt to online learning situations, has become critical since the COVID-19 pandemic, but its processes are not well-understood. Using grounded theory, this study develops a paradigm model of online learning dexterity from semi-structured interviews with 32 undergraduate and postgraduate students from a university in New Zealand. Through students' online learning experiences during the pandemic from 2020 to 2021, online learning dexterity is found to be how students make online learning 'just as good' as face-to-face learning by creating and adjusting five learning manoeuvres according to developing online learning circumstances. Undergraduates and postgraduates re-use familiar study strategies as but undergraduates restrict to lecturers. Technical problems with online systems and poor course organisation by lecturers affected learning productivity, resulting in the need for more . Social support helped students activate to sustain online class attendance. However, undergraduates had more problems sustaining interest and engagement during class as they were not as proficient with using as postgraduates enrolled in distance learning programmes. The theoretical and practical significance of online learning dexterity for post-pandemic higher education is discussed.
自新冠疫情以来，在线学习灵活性，即轻松适应在线学习环境的能力，变得至关重要，但人们对其过程还不太了解。本研究采用扎根理论，通过对新西兰一所大学的32名本科生和研究生进行半结构化访谈，构建了一个在线学习灵活性的范式模型。通过2020年至2021年疫情期间学生的在线学习经历发现，在线学习灵活性是指学生如何根据不断变化的在线学习环境，通过创建和调整五种学习策略，使在线学习“与面对面学习一样好”。本科生和研究生会重新运用熟悉的学习策略，但本科生将其局限于授课教师。在线系统的技术问题和授课教师糟糕的课程安排影响了学习效率，因此需要更多……社会支持帮助学生激活……以维持在线课堂出勤率。然而，本科生在课堂上保持兴趣和参与度方面存在更多问题，因为他们在使用……方面不如参加远程学习项目的研究生熟练。文中讨论了在线学习灵活性对疫情后高等教育的理论和实践意义。
