The challenges of using digital media for the work integrated learning (WIL) in the business studies after the sudden outbreak of the pandemic

Abstract [en]

Despite the advantages digital media offers such as increased motivation and attention among students leading to deeper learning (Brown 2001), after the sudden outbreak of the pandemic it created some challenges for the teachers in business studies who used to apply workshops, games, company visits, and actively participating project works involving primary data collection in their courses to boost work integrated learning (WIL). This paper aims to identify the challenges of using digital media for WIL in the business studies after the sudden outbreak of the pandemic. From number of observations, course evaluation and active participation in teacher’s team meetings in the division of business administration, University West, this paper suggests that the challenges the teachers faced are not only technical that is related to internet connections and the usability of the media but also teachers’ inability to design appropriate education materials and content, which could be conveyed through the digital communication tool as well as could be cocreated in interaction among the teachers and the students through it. Accordingly, the paper suggests that this challenge can be overcome by managing a sound fit between the education materials and contents, the tools that communicate the content to the students and enable sound interaction among teachers and students. Further studies could be done through in-depth interviews of teachers from different universities working in the business studies.
