  In Roundtable Session: Research on Digital Learning Environments During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

University students’ well-being has been approached by examining factors such as exhaustion at studies, cynicism toward the meaning of studies, and a sense of inadequacy at studies as means to measure students’ study-related burnout(Salmela-Aro et al., 2009; Salmela-Aro & Udapaya, 2017; Merino-Tejedor et al., 2015). However, digital learning environments and how they can support students’ well-being remain, in many respects, an unexplored area, even though the techniques and theories used in teaching have been extensively studied (Kangas et al., 2015; Ruokamo et al., 2016; Lewin & Lundie, 2016). This research systematically reviews the literature relevant to digital learning environments and how university students’ well-being in different digital contexts can be supported through digital assessment.
