Many graduate students are choosing online degree options while balancing work, school, and home lives and priorities. Over the last 20 years, online grad student enrollment has grown from 6% to 42% leading to the need to understand the effectiveness of online education and learning. The study included only two fields of study for master’s degree students. No attention was given to doctoral students or other areas of study limiting generalizability. An experimental design was not used so causality can not be demonstrated. $15 gift card as an incentive, project was funded by a faculty research grant to cover gift cards, RA pay, and faculty honoraria. Email recruitment invitation to target population, but the anonymity of The study focused on business and education grad students. Expanding to other disciplines would be good moving forward. Future research could expand to other factors that might influence online graduate student success such as student expectations, the type of support needed to balance life roles, and appreciation for the learning outcome regardless of the grade outcome. A more formal experimental 1

(Barratt & Duran, 2021) The study examines whether psychological capital predicts learner engagement and burnout and whether social support moderates these relationships. The increasing demand for distance learning by employed students is making part-time studying popular and more authentic for those who are unable to enroll in full-time education programs as much as the skills they seek are essential. Distance learning allows individuals to The study focused on students from the same university which reduces diversity in the results presented. Additionally, the authors incorporated a cross-sectional strategy that inhibited the establishment and impact of relationships formed. It is imperative to note that the inclusion of email- related responses More males participated than females. The use of email recruitment and advert to link the respondents to the survey site did not consider diversity and the reality of the Further research is needed to investigate similar relationships of distance learning by involving a larger scale to incorporate diversity. Additionally, the researchers would consider a wider support base such as the community through a longitudinal approach. 2

Ethical approval was also granted to the institution to eliminate conflicts of interest. also be done in different courses and universities including small and privately owned institutions. While doing another study, it would be prudent to include transcripts for multi- media material for easy reference to bolster the standard of data collected. (Okyere et al., 2020) The study used a phenomenological study design to explore students' online learning challenges, coping strategies, and perceptions of the causes of COVID- 19. Different stumbling blocks and stressors to effective learning halted online and normal learning. COVID-19 is a serious consideration that facilitated the majoring of students Participants were limited to English speakers, age limit of 18 years and above, and in perfect health. Therefore, purposive sampling inhibited the generalization of findings. Also, the study was restricted to Appropriate ethical logistics were followed including clearances by the College Human Health Research A holistic view of the situation should be the guiding theme in future studies that focuses on elucidating more on the challenges, misconceptions, coping strategies, and pillars of online learning.
