The top three reasons for failure in online courses included: falling behind withcoursework, personal conflicts (health, job, children, etc.), and inability to balance school andlife responsibilities. These three reasons were cited by over 47% of all respondents.The number of students enrolled in online courses has steadily increased since 2012, with over35% of all university students, undergraduate and post-baccalaureate, enrolled in at least oneonline course in 2018 23, suggesting that the COVID-19 pandemic may have only

For many disciplines, the interaction among students required fordiscussion or peer review of written work can be handled in courses through discussion boards,chat sessions, team conferences, and written assignments. Furthermore, for some courses,simulations and case studies can replace active learning sessions.[1] However, even with theadvances in online education, the challenges of most laboratory courses required on-sitelaboratory experiences because of the need for physical hardware and resources. Some of themost affected disciplines include engineering, the physical sciences and health sciences.[2][3][4] The 2020 pandemic created immediate and focused challenges that

The Perry Model of intellectual development [4], as interpreted by Pavelich and Moore[5] suggests that students with extensive practice in open-ended problem solving involvingreflection will be more successful than their peers. Similarly, the King and Kitchener ReflectiveJudgment Stages model [6] contains a scale which is useful for measuring increased complexityof reflective thinking over time, another indicator of future success. Both models emphasize thatknowledge is largely contextual
