目的-本研究的目的是检查约旦高等教育机构的学生对2019年冠状病毒病期间使用在线设计工作室的态度（COVID-19）封锁，并讨论了如何使用它们可以加强学习过程。设计/方法/方法-615名在约旦大学学习建筑学的本科生被招募来探索构成和影响他们对在线设计的看法的因素研究结果-这项研究的结果强调，许多参与者感到不确定的方面，他们的在线学习经验，并希望更多的指导和支持。这种脱离的原因包括技术因素，如网络质量差和不熟悉新的应用程序。学生和教师在家工作和学习时的个人情况也与此相关，因为教师缺乏在线教学的专业知识，而且同伴互动也有局限性。总之，这些因素可以使在线设计工作室的经验更具挑战性。研究限制/影响-样本是全国代表性的建筑专业学生从各个机构。然而，这项研究仅限于探讨学生的意见，并没有包括导师和决策者的观点。独创性/价值-这项研究是在COVID-19封锁期间构思的，当时导师和学生都经历了巨大的变化，他们的教学和学习模式，由于突然从校园设计工作室转移到虚拟的替代品，只有最低限度的资源和相关经验。学习者的观点可以增强对在线设计工作室的理解，以评估其质量和有效性。
Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the attitudes of students in higher educational institutions in Jordan towards the use of online design studios during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown and discusses how their use could enhance the learning process.Design/methodology/approach - 615 undergraduate students studying architecture in Jordanian universities were recruited to explore the factors that constituted and affected their perceptions of online design studios.Findings - The findings of this study highlight that many of the participants felt uncertain about aspects of their online learning experience and wanted more guidance and support. Reasons of this disengagement include technical factors, such as poor network quality and lack of familiarity with the new applications. Students and tutors' personal situations when working and studying from home are also relevant due to the tutors' lack of expertise in online teaching, and the limitations of peer interaction. Together, these factors can make the experience of the online design studio more challenging.Research limitations/implications - The sample was nationally representative of architecture students from various institutions. However, the study was limited to an exploration of students' opinions, and it did not include the points of view of tutors and decision-makers.Originality/value - This research was conceived during the period of the COVID-19 lockdown, whilst both tutors and students were experiencing dramatic changes in their modes of teaching and learning due to the sudden move from on-campus design studios to a virtual alternative, with only the bare minimum of resources and relevant experience. Learners' perspectives can enhance understanding of online design studios to assess their quality and effectiveness.
