-care. The advice provided by online students in 2020 introduced a new concept to thetheme of time management, the idea of attending online class at its “scheduled” time. For classesbeing administered synchronously, student advice indicates that students should attend class atthe time scheduled by the university, regardless of whether the session will be recorded andavailable to view later. For asynchronous courses, where lectures are pre-recorded, onlinestudents should schedule time(s) each week to watch the recordings, supporting advice offeredby unsuccessful online learners.6 In traditional in-person learning environments, a student’s classschedule is dictated by the available course offerings and their associated times.

This motivation is explained by three main factors: perceived ease of use,perceived usefulness, and attitude toward using [5].Figure 1.

cultural knowledge. • A necessary key to success is selecting a proper class variety to maximize students’ eligibility to apply. Classes offered abroad should be as many as possible to maximize the supply, but of course, each class has a cost and is bound by the availability of the instructor(s). An ideal compromise is 4-5 classes, to allow willing and fully eligible students to complete a full Spring semester of face-to-face learning abroad. At the same time, some of the interested students might not be attracted to all classes, so it is imperative to broaden the supply with available online courses. This would greatly increase the eligibility, interest, and applications to the program from multiple

Appreciation for a System: According to Deming, a system is “a network of interdependent components that work together to try to accomplish the aim of the system.” Leaders must know how to lead and optimize a system, and not destroy it. The aim of the system must be clear to everyone involved in this man-made system. Additionally, the aim must be related to value and better life for its consumers. For example, there is a difference between a company that has an aim of producing cars and another company that has an aim of solving mobility needs. The latter more likely involves greater creativity and
