However, the appearance of the COVID-19 virus has changed not just the way of our lives but also caused a huge impact on academic systems worldwide. The traditional way of learning suddenly changed into distance learning. Now that students are spending more time at home and learning online, many students who have excelled in previous academic contexts may find it difficult to adapt to new hybrid and online learning environments.
