changes in the education system, the use of these
methods alone without "normal" classes is a
challenge to the development of international
students' social skills and the student's
performance, especially of courses that require
practicals and experiments.
In terms of these international students who
actually rely on social interaction in order to adapt
to the new environment, it is believed that the
migration of all the classes to the e-learning
system might actually limit their capacity to get
used to this new setting.

How Globalization Has Affected the E-Learning System for International Students
Abstract
The first five months of 2020 has been a hard time for the international community. The
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has swept the whole world-impacting many aspects
of people's lives: from the decrease in the production of industries to disruption of the academic
calendar all institutions around the world. All the stakeholders and the administration of higher
education facilities have been left with no other option than closing these institutions. This has
seen the use of advanced technology globally to facilitate online learning so that learning
activities across all schools globally can continue.
This inquiry purposes on assessing the challenges that international students are facing
through the transformation of their regular classes to e-learning. Thus the paper will employ the
use of an online survey to investigate these challenges and come up with ways that these
problems can be solved. The paper will also seek to identify the future of e-learning after the end
of the COVID-19 pandemic and if its current advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
It is believed that the increasing growth in the number of international students represents
true evidence of the globalization process. Due to the fact that it does not respect the
socioeconomic and also cultural circumstances of these students, some of them might have to
face an education system which they might feel it does not respect them. More than that, due to
the current pandemic, the newly approached electronic educational system can actually do them
more harm. All these advantages and disadvantages will be dissected in the paper.

HOW GLOBALIZATION HAS AFFECTED THE E-LEARNING SYSTEM

Introduction
In the recent past, institutions such as schools, companies, mosques, churches, among
others, have been shut down due to control the rise of COVID-19 pandemic. This has impacted
the way people study and work a lot. Many students are facing an enormous challenge of
learning through e-learning or not learning at all. As a graduate of the University of Melbourne, I
am having a big problem during this transition. The failure to interact with my professors,
friends, tutors, as a new graduate student is very challenging. Although e-learning has helped
students continue their courses globally, there are several challenges in the e-learning system that
these students are facing (Yusuf, 2020; Eachempati & Ramnarayan, 2020).
While researching for this paper, an element that was very evident was the fact that
international students were not a subject of interest for the many educational debates due to the
fact that the community saw them as temporary sojourners, and thus they were excluded from
various researches. The information gathered actually underlined how this group of students tend
to be marginalized.
The research findings suggest that the use of an online platform was a great idea, but it
required more preparation and training for it to be effective. There are a lot of challenges, such as
the high cost that is needed to participate in online learning. A lot of international students with
the learning tools are also spending a lot of money on buying data so that they can have access to
the internet. Other findings include a lack of training, a pleasant environment, and experience
are affecting the concentration of students during the online classes. Lastly, there is a slow
internet connection in areas of residents where some students live, and this lack of internet
connectivity is affecting their learning capacity. Many of the international students returned to

HOW GLOBALIZATION HAS AFFECTED THE E-LEARNING SYSTEM

their homes during this pandemic and the internet connection might not be the one which the
educational system actually expects. It is important to underline the fact that many of these
students migrated for areas characterized by poverty in order to gain a better education. Due to
the pandemic and the need of returning in those areas, it actually limits their access to this
modern system.
The study from this inquiry will be significant to the administration and management of
the university in carrying emergency decisions in the future to implement e-learning programs
for students from varying backgrounds. The study will also help in determining the future of elearning as from one of my findings. Most institutions will most likely adapt to this technique of
learning as many researchers believe it opens new doors in terms of education.
A study conducted by UNESCO (2020) shows a full national closure of educational
facilities that have affected about 70 percent of the world's learner population. This is due to
governments' actions in different countries so that they can contain the transmission of the
coronavirus disease. According to UNESCO Inspector General, there have neverwitnessed
disruption in education on a large scale as it is happening now (UNESCO, 2020). Many schools
from basic levels to universities have been closed, and students are at home following directives
by the government for self-quarantine(Africa CDC, 2020).We have witnessed the cancellation of
graduation ceremonies, classes, some examinations, and also the postponement of university
research programs. Learners all over the world have a challenging decision to complete the
spring semester (UNESCO, 2020).
Thus most heads of academic departments have prompted online learning to offer a
solution to this crisis (UNESCO, 2020). It is important to note that online learning is not a

HOW GLOBALIZATION HAS AFFECTED THE E-LEARNING SYSTEM

permanent solution to face-to-face learning. Top universities such as Harvard, Cambridge, Yale,
Tsinghua, Oxford, Peking University, among others, had already moved to the direction of elearning in the past decade (Picciano, 2017; Bao, 2020). A study carried out by Bao (2020),
indicated that going entirely online requires proper investments and planning from all sectors
involved. This means that if universities had not previously conducted training for their student
and tutors on online teaching, it is painful and challenging to fully transfer learning to online
platforms (Yang & Li, 2018). Additionally, there are a lot of resources required that includes
platforms for recording both at home and on-campus that the instructors need to register and
present the class in a way the students will be able to access the work (Klašnja-Milićević, Vesin,
Ivanović, Budimac & Jain, 2017). A lot of institutions have been unable to transform to elearning due to lack of prior arrangement, lack of resources such a smartphone or a laptop and
knowhow on how to present and record work (Filius et al., 2019)
According to a study done by Times Higher education, online learning cannot be a match
with face-to-face learning. The study was carried out in critical universities around the world,
where there were about 200 respondents from 45 nations (Yusuf, 2020). From the data, 63
percent of the respondent predicted that top universities would have entirely transformed their
learning on line by the year 2030 (Demuyakor, 2020). A study was taken by Demuyakor (2020);
the online system of education will be used as a useful tool of learning similar to school-based
methods. From an analysis carried out by the United States Department of Education, students
that take their classes online usually perform better than students who are classroom-based
across most demographics and subjects. According to observers, the future of education might
have become the present due to the extensive use of e-learning globally (Bao, 2020; Stein, 2020).

There is no doubt that the purpose of e-learning systems is to promote globalization. It is
known that this process actually brought benefits to many countries who were underdeveloped or
still developing. Even so, it still represents a process that faces various issues. It is known that
currently, globalization tends to reshape the higher education system all over the world. The
purpose of this paper is to also determine the way this entire new education method influenced
international students.
Terms
'Globalization' is an important term used in my inquiry. Globalization is the process in
which trade and other operations grow globally, operating on a global scale. The world is
connected due to technological advancement allowing the flow of information, people, business,
cultures, and investments (Yusuf, 2020).
'E-learning or online learning' is learning that takes place through electronic media,
usually on the internet. The e-learning system has been accepted globally after the advancement
of technology and the use of computers.
'COVID-19', or coronavirus disease 2019, is an infectious respiratory illness caused by a
newly discovered strain of coronavirus that makes people ill. The illness spreads from one
