Beyond this, they also had the chance to write, in their own words, what they thought about their education going internet based. The results are based on a total of 80 students who participated in the survey. This study contains social contacts and study motivation, linked to the involuntary digital learning during the pandemic of Covid-19 in 2020–2022. The students’ experiences of digital learning differs from another, though the answers are similar. Some of them thought digital learning was great, and some of them hated it. The isolation and the difficulties to communicate over the internet worsened the social contacts. The study motivation changed over time. When digital learning first started the motivation dropped, which may have been an effect of the lack of social contacts and worrying about the virus and education. When the education once again was back at the university the motivation to study also rose, which could be a possible indication that the social contacts had a great impact, after all. (Less)
