Undergraduate Studies and the Covid Context: Promoting Self-Regulated Learning

With COVID-19 shifting educational institutions to remote teaching globally, Bangladeshi universities, too, began taking classes online from June 2020, using different learning management system (LMS) platforms. Facing students completely unfamiliar with learning outside traditional classrooms, the need for instructors to utilize best practices in online instruction and course design was extra enhanced. How online instructors can promote the use of self-regulated learning strategies (SRLS) amongst students is evaluated by considering a variety of extant methods. Taking universal teaching platforms into the nooks and corners of any country may be the biggest takeaway from this study, but a transition certain to elicit variegated responses. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2023.

Vulnerability and Humanitarian Emergencies: Fate of Rohingya Women Amid Covid-19

While populations as a whole suffer during complex humanitarian crisis, women become especially vulnerable. This gendered nature of vulnerability in crisis situations has recently received attention from academics and humanitarians alike, the dominant narrative failing to take into account that social and legal systems making women vulnerable since birth and emergencies only exacerbate their plight: vulnerability is not episodic, it is a fundamental part of a woman's life. Through the study of vulnerability and security, this study explores the experience of the already relegated Rohingya refugee women during COVID-19. By drawing on Martha Fineman's theoretical framework exploring the inevitability of vulnerability, the chapter seeks to shift perceptions and mindsets over gendered vulnerabilities. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
