Korean Student Perceptions of a CANVAS Based EFL Class During COVID-19 －A Case Study

This study was designed to examine the feelings and perceptions of English learners at a Korean university towards using CANVAS as an online teaching medium during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected from 129 students enrolled at a university in the greater Seoul area. A survey questionnaire consisting of a combination of multiple choice, Likert scale and open-ended questions was used as the primary data collection method. In addition, if consent was given, survey participants were contacted by e-mail to discuss responses in further detail. Data was analyzed using general qualitative analysis and discussed using descriptive statistics. The findings show that despite pandemic related disruption and some feelings of frustration related to the efficiency of the system, students were able to adapt quickly to using CANVAS as their main learning interface and were generally satisfied with it. In addition, they relied on a specific number of CANVAS functions which helped with the learning process and improvement of English ability. Administrational and educational implications of these findings as well as limitations are also discussed.
