Student evaluation of online learning during the covid-19 pandemic

6. Limitations and future research 
We realize that the findings of our research are preliminary restricted 
by a relatively limited scope. The study was conducted among re-
spondents studying in Warsaw, the capital of Poland 
– 
considered to be 
one of the most attractive cities in terms of earning possibilities. It is 
unclear how this phenomenon manifests itself in other neighboring 
cities which do not offer such earning opportunities as Warsaw. Addi-
tionally, the study was conducted in the first stage of the pandemic; a 
review at a later date may have shown a shift in attitude and evaluation 
as students and faculty settled into the reality of long-term virtual 
learning and working. Further, this study was carried out in Poland 
where a significant portion of students are from the East. Therefore, 
further study is suggested to balance the regional disadvantage of this 
study and collect data that will serve a much greater audience. We 
would also like to balance the student-focused survey design with a 
university-centered input realizing that both opportunities and chal-
lenges experienced at an organizational level will greatly influence the 
quality of online education provided and, in the end, the levels of stu-
dents
’ 
satisfaction.

attention towards the 
ethics and integrity necessary to create a true learning environment and 
grant appropriate online course delivery. Although the movement to-
wards distance education gains acceptance among multiple stake-
holders, the interest in making online instruction both valid and 
valuable will continue to demand more consideration.
