Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the education sector towards an e-learning approach to sustain education. Sustaining student education through e-learning significantly impacts student learning experiences and outcomes, which can be influenced by e-learning infrastructure, e-learning materials, and learning engagement. The concept of humanising education refers to the learning process that reflects students' moralities and values. Focus group discussion is a practical approach to assess students’ perspectives on sustaining and humanising their education through e-learning. This qualitative focus group study aimed to discuss the e-learning factors that will sustain education and promote humanising education in the virtual learning environment. Thirty students from Information Technology (IT) and business fields have participated and provided a different view on sustaining education through e-learning. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the focus group data. Five themes were identified: (1) e-learning technologies and infrastructure; (2) e-learning principles: pedagogy and materials; (3) health and wellness; (4) equality; and (5) engagement: communication and collaboration. The analysis enlightened the e-learning design for sustainable e-learning. In addition, this paper outlines how the findings support sustainable development goals.
