Abstract

Syed Mohammad Nurunnabi

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced educational institutions to adopt distance learning as an alternative to traditional in-person classes. This study explores the perceptions of senior interior design students regarding distance learning in the context of the pandemic. Through an online survey of 100 senior interior design students and follow-up interviews with a sample of participants, we found that while distance learning presents some challenges, students generally had positive perceptions of this mode of learning. The study also identified some areas that need improvement to enhance the effectiveness of distance learning in the context of interior design education.
