Abstract
In the Summer Semester of 2020, 3469 students enrolled in Saxon universities participated in an online survey concerning the study situation during the corona pandemic. The results show that, despite campus closures, the respondents were, on the whole, able to continue their studies as planned. While their technical equipment largely allowed participation in digital courses, not all students had a sufficiently stable internet connection. Compared to the previous semester, the respondents found it more difficult to organize their studies (d = -0.48, 95 % CI [-0.52, -0.45]) and to manage their learning activities (d = 0.86, 95 % CI [-0.90, -0.82]). It was also more difficult to concentrate on studying in general (d = -0.69, 95 % CI [-0.72, -0.65]). The respondents were mostly satisfied with the learning media offered. For the most part learning management systems, digital texts, and presentations dominated the learning process at the universities in Saxony. The lack of social interactions with peers and learning-related interactions with lecturers were felt to be particularly disadvantageous. Savings in time and money, as well as more autonomy in learning, were considered the biggest advantages of studying from home. There is no indication that low-performing students were more affected negatively by the changed study conditions.
