Abstract

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, academic education has changed drastically. There has been a transition from face-to-face education to mainly online education. The impact of this transition on student satisfaction, participation, social interactions and performance is still unclear. Online education will be a good fit for some students, but other students may benefit less from this form of education. A longitudinal cohort study will investigate which personal characteristics of students (such as gender and age), as well as psychological characteristics (such as personality and needs) of students play a role in this. For this research, an online questionnaire will be distributed three times to students at Dutch universities during the 2020/2021 academic year. The Intercity Student Consultation and the National Student Union function as collaboration partners.
