Whilea transition to virtual learning can eliminate the spread of the virus, such transition cannot be takenlightly by everyone. A report by Allen and Seaman [1] indicates that institutions with onlineofferings in 2014 to 2015 are just as positive about it as ever, but those who have no onlineofferings say that it will not be part of their plans for the future. Moreover, academic leaders atinstitutions with online offerings have consistently held a more favorable opinion of the learningoutcomes for online education than those at institutions with no offerings

Explorations of unethical behavior have explored this process using theTheory of Planned Behavior [15, 16] and identifying obstacles to ethical behaviors [17]. In astudy on temptations to engage in unethical behavior in academic settings and work settings(e.g., undergraduates with internship experiences), similar decision-making processes andmotivators were identified in the academic and work settings, although with differentialimportance in their model [18].

Having access to resources made them feelcompetent and confident in themselves in the present and in their future. Often studentsconflated competence with confidence, which we plan to discuss in a separate study, but ingeneral, students felt like competent learners.
