Countermeasures and suggestions
Based on the research results and conclusions, the study believes that learning during the pandemic period needs to fully consider learners’ individual factors, especially mental health and depression-anxiety-stress will greatly affect learners’ use of web-based learning tools. Although web-based learning tool is a convenient instrument for learners to get access to knowledge and skills, the isolation between teachers and students was uncertain to make assurance about this kind of benefits with high dropout rate (Davidson-Shivers, Rasmussen, & Lowenthal, 2018; Hew & Cheung, 2014; Allen & Seaman, 2013). Paying attention to these problems and guiding the learners to overcome these mental health problems to quickly getting rid of the negative emotions of depression-anxiety-stress, is very important for individual control, which will help learners improve their concentration and quality of learning in web-based learning. On the other hand, family life quality is also very important to the self-efficacy of online learners. During the pandemic, it is necessary to ensure a high quality of family life, a relaxed family atmosphere with love, trust and faith, communication, and nurturing could promote learners’ web-based learning. As a mediator between web-based learning tool and self-efficacy, family life quality could reduce learners’ negative emotions in depression-anxiety-stress, and enhancing self-efficacy, and promoting learners’ use of web-based learning tool. Secondly, the study also designed a multiple-choice question on the investigation of the reasons for the use of web-based learning tools. Among them, 70.87% and 20.71% of learners used web-based learning tools to study mainly due to regulations and requirements, while 53.72% and 49.51% of learners use web-based learning tools for autonomous learning and self-improvement reasons. Therefore, although the reasons why learners use web-based learning tools are diversified, regulations and requirements have been predominant effect, and autonomy learning of an individual was left behind. It can be seen that web-based learning tools have been widely used during the pandemic. Finally, the use and improvement of web-based learning tools are also very important for web-based learning during the pandemic. Learners’ evaluation and opinions on web-based learning tools must be worth attention. The development and improvement of web-based learning tools as a technical problem has been further improved. However, existing research pays little attention to the evaluation of learners’ use of web-based learning tools. In addition, there are some limitations in this study. For example, there are not enough investigation samples.
