Preliminary result on how to enhance online education during the COVID-19 pandemic

In 2020 and because of COVID-19 pandemic, all institution transformed into online education is well established that there was no face to face teaching anymore and some institute and teachers were not ready to deal with, moreover students didn’t adapt to start the learning process online, This study shows aims to determine the best methods and technique we can use to give the best online education experience for both students and teachers in all institution wither if it’s academic, business or an individual. To test the hypothesis that we can enhance online education for all students an online survey was distributed to 115 students who study bachelor computer science and were taking online classes through Zoom and Youtube, the result showed that students prefer to digital pen and vLogs over slides, they care about video’s sound quality and prefer to watch 10 - 15 min video duration also they welcomed the Youtube chapters new technique to divided the long video into sections plus they prefer the audience engaging, energetic teaching style. The result showed that students are adapting to online learning and some of our technique were well received and some had no effect, On this basis, the concept of enhancing online education through new tools and practising new methods and trying them can taking into account when creating an online class in any educational institution.


Introduction
In 2020 many institutions were forced to start teaching their students using online education because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a lot of people life were transferred into online services and online education is one of them and since it's easy to join online education, the requirements for this educational process is a certain educational level passed as a prerequisite if you are a college student and Internet connection with a minimal laptop or mobile and start learning.
Online education technologies are very important in learning but not more important than learning tasks, student characteristics and student motivation, all of these are tools to enhance the quality of online education for any student to achieve online learning [1], needless to say, that all universities and colleges has changed to a wide-angle to enhance and develop online education.
Not only creating the best faculty for courses but focusing on the student side [2] ,and search for the methods where it will make students love what they are doing, "People rarely succeed at anything unless they are having fun doing it." [3,4]. the data represented in this paper was collected based on the opinions of students who took the survey questions during the online education they have been receiving.
In this paper, we dig deep in methods and tools we used to run the experiment, at the beginning we will start with the discussion and explaining the structure of the study where we

Discussion
We conducted a survey to 115 students that are taking subjects through online computer related classes Empirical methods and Operating system [5], due to COVID-19 outbreaks the whole university system transformed into online education, we took the chance to learn more on how we can enhance the learning experience, throughout the semester we experimented with multiple techniques such as uploading lectures to Youtube as we have created a Channel [6] to host the videos for students and making all the students have the flexibility to watch them at any time.
We start experiment some techniques like drawing on the screen, and using a digital pen, making zoom effect on slides, adding documentary videos and adding animation videos to explain further the topic, we took advantage of new technology on Youtube introduced by Google called Youtube chapters where we can divide the long videos into smaller sections, plus it will power the video with the following have an outline for the lesson , making the content of the video is searchable, and can help students while studying for an exam or solving an assignment or search for a certain topic.
In the end, we collected all of this experiment and forms a question to students asking them about there experience with aforementioned technique you can find the related question and answers described in Table 1 and Table 2 below.
There are 17 questions were delivered to 115 student dividend into two types the first type is Multi choice questions in Table 1 and single choice questions in Table 2, the goal of the Multi choice is to collect data from students about the experiment we made during online lectures and to see of a certain technique is well received by them.
where is the goal of a single choice question were we want to be sure about what student will choose in a certain technique.

Results
After running the question in Table 1 and Table 2 to our 115 students we gather information about what the methods we used and other known methods we elicitate from past studies, this gave us insight on how to improve future videos and online classes, we divided the results into to categories Teaching style and presenting, and Videos enhancement

Teaching style and presenting
In this category we elicit methods on how to present the lectures, what tool to use and avoid, how to communicate with students and what tools to use, below points what we fond is effective to add on online education • Students prefer digital pen and draw on the screen hence it will grab their attention • Vlog is a new popular concept and it appears well received by the student • Changing colours during explanation or drawing whale using a digital pen is effective • Add documentary videos to the lessons is well received • Using Youtube chapters or -any other tool -to divide long videos into smaller.
• Having an outline and summary of the video is well received • People prefer Engaging man who makes students and making them participate in the class while streaming or traditional FTF • Students prefer energetic teacher and the one who can tell jokes or make them smile Presenting using slides ( and reading them ) 54 Presenting using person talking (like a vLog) 61 What will make you stop watching the video Low sound Quality 83 Low Video Quality 69 long Videos ( more than 15 min ) 56 Which the following length of videos you prefer to watch Very short videos (3 min -5 min ) 41 Short videos ( 5 min-10 min ) 52 Long videos (10 min -15 min ) 58 Very long videos ( more than 15 min ) 52

Conclusion
Many educational institutions are adapting online education during the COVID-19 pandemic, we took the chance and studied the methods on how can we improve online education.
We used some old and new techniques for online education such as drawing on the screen, making zoom affect, adding documentary videos, changing teaching style, change colours during drawing, and Using YouTube chapters, we also asked about preferred video length and quality , what speed student watch videos regularly, do students prefer stream or recorded lecturers, what is the format of asking question they like, and the effect of quizzes during the lecture then we presented it to 115 students as a survey for them to answer about what was their experience with these methods.
The study shows that there are positive effects when instructors use digital pen writing and drawing during the lecture and they prefer to change the colours during explanation, also they prefer to have recorded rather than streamed.
It turns out that using YouTube Chapters that divides one video into separated chapter with has been well received, adding a summary at the end plus an outline at the beginning of the video is also highly requested. In addition the quality of sound is the most important thing and the quality of the video is the close second when creating video content, changing colour when writing or drawing is highly effective, and it appears showing the instructor's face during online lectures is preferable to students rather than no face plus adapting an Energetic teaching style and engage with students is well-received to students, keeping the videos less than 15 min is better for the focus of the students since videos longer than 15 min is affecting there focus negatively and at last, students prefer to ask a question and get answers immediately since such question affects positively on other students.
