Online courses and programs are gaining popularity in postsecondary education, and many information systems academics are increasingly involved in the planning and implementation of online offerings. Student engagement is critical while developing online courses. The purpose of this study was to ascertain college students’ perspectives of the advantages and disadvantages of taking online courses. The study’s findings can assist information systems teachers in developing courses for an online setting. It will inform my research study regarding the best ways to approach issues relating to online classes and their impact on mental and physical health of learners.

E-learning in tertiary education is the subject of this study, which examines its efficacy. In higher education institutions, the use of current information and communication technologies for teaching and learning is essential. E-learning, as a concept and as an educational practice in higher education, is examined in this study by reviewing some of the contributions made by academics and organizations to the concept of e-learning. Surveys and other observations illustrate some of the views that people and institutions around the world have on the adoption and integration of e-learning technologies in education. The paper will be very effective in informing my research on the advantages of online classes and the effects that can be expected. The paper is affiliated with the international journal of instructional technology and distance learning. The authors use relevant extant literature and secondary findings to avoid biasness on the presentation of advantages and disadvantages.
Baltà-Salvador, Rosó, et al. “Academic and emotional effects of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on engineering students.” Education and Information Technologies (2021): 1-28.
The goal of this study is to look at undergraduate engineering students’ online education experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak and their emotional impact over time. Previously conducted research identified critical factors that can negatively impact students’ academic growth and their online education experience. Given the severe course constraints, one of the primary concerns is the children’s mental health. It’s also unclear what impact the prolonged lockdown and pandemic exhaustion had on university students and their academic experience. The study will be useful in my research as it explores various stages of acceptance and coping against a backdrop of finding solutions to mental and health-related challenges linked to online classes.
Baloran, Erick T. “Knowledge, attitudes, anxiety, and coping strategies of students during COVID-19 pandemic.” Journal of loss and trauma 25.8 (2020): 635-642.
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a strong response from learners who are apprehensive about their future. Higher Education students’ knowledge, attitudes, anxiety, and coping techniques were investigated in this cross-sectional study conducted during the COVID-19 outbreak. According to the findings, students possessed sufficient knowledge and made high-risk decisions in their assessments. A number of non-medical preventative techniques were considered to be quite effective. These approaches will be employed in my paper to form a basis for most effective remedies to mental and physical issues affecting learners. The involvement of the journal of loss and trauma adds credibility to this article.
Mheidly, Nour, Mohamad Y. Fares, and Jawad Fares. “Coping with stress and burnout associated with telecommunication and online learning.” Frontiers in Public Health 8 (2020): 672.
This review examines the impact of COVID-19 on communication and education. There are concerns about the link between prolonged exposure to technology and mental health. Some ideas are offered on how to deal with pandemic tele-burdens, as well. The authors claim that spending too much time in front of a screen or tablet might lead to anxiety and tension. Telecommunications-related mental health difficulties can exacerbate other pressures, such as being isolated or locked down. Such concerns wear students down and lead to exhaustion. The paper will be used to provide information on the relationship between the prolonged use of telecommunications in remote learning and the recent approaches to solutions related to mental and physical health. The quality of the paper is very high since it is backed by the international Frontiers in Public Health.
Shah, Kaushal, et al. “Impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of children and adolescents.” Cureus 12.8 (2020).
The article examines how the COVID-19 epidemic’s unanticipated imposed social isolation, particularly among students, has affected their daily routines. As part of the virus’s containment measures, the majority of schools were forced to close, cancel classes, and convert to home-based or online learning. The ideal strategy to protect learners against the psychological effects of coronavirus is being debated by countries all over the world. The idea presented in the article is to have full involvement of the scientific community in creating solutions to the current mental and physical strain. The article is authoritative and is endorsed by the scientific and psychology community including the US National Library of Medicine. It will be used to inform my paper on the recent approaches to solutions related to mental and physical health and the classroom transitions.

1-How Healthcare regulations affect Healthcare organizations Different countries through their legislative systems regularly enact different laws that govern the conduct of all the health care organizations. International bodies like the World Health Organization also set standards to be observed by healthcare establishments. These laws are enacted after a research done by healthcare professions in different fields. All the healthcare organizations both public and those owned by private proprietors are expected to adhere strictly to the compliance of these regulations. Regulatory bodies are formed by the governments and tasked with the role of ensuring compliance and providing guidance. These sets of regulations affect the conduct and the activities of the different healthcare establishments.
Various aspects of healthcare organizations are affected by the regulations. Some of the regulations affect the healthcare facilities relationship with the patient. They dictate all the dos and don’ts in the physician’s relationship with the patient. This includes a set of ethical standards of which medical practitioners are obliged to meet. The patient’s privacy is highly protected by these enactments (American Medical Association, 2013). The regulations also affect the pricing of the healthcare services in the different organizations. This ensures that the services are affordable. The regulations also affect the situation of healthcare facilities especially for the private practitioners. This is to ensure a health competition among different healthcare organizations. Therefore, the regulations enacted can be said to affect the comportment in all aspects of the healthcare organizations.
2-The role and impact of government regulatory agencies on health care deliveryRole of regulatory agencies
In order to achieve regulation of the healthcare industry, the government creates agencies that implement its healthcare policies in the expansive industry. These agencies are made to regulate; the healthcare practitioners, healthcare financiers and the manufacturers of different healthcare products like pharmaceuticals. The regulation agencies have a role in scrutinizing the different and numerous activities undergoing in the health care industry. The health sector is one of the most integral sectors and hence calls for special handling with an aim of fostering a healthy nation and population. The agencies are also charged with ensuring that the services offered in the health industry are of high quality. They also regulate the competition in the industry to ensure it is healthy and it promotes quality. The bodies also oversee the national licensures which are aimed at regulating the industry.
Impact of the regulations on health care delivery A variety of influences and impacts have been created by the regulatory agencies in the healthcare sector. Their common code of ethics that acts as a guideline to the medical practitioners has played a great role in ensuring that the values and the beliefs of the patients have not been violated by the physicians. The regulations have also eliminated plentiful inequalities that were being experienced in the health sector. This intervention has also ensured affordability as well as accessibility of medical services. Creation of a healthy competition in the health sector has seen a tremendous improvement in the quality of the services offered. On the deleterious side, the regulations have to some extent resulted in the reduction of efficiency of the healthcare industry due to the bottlenecks that have been created by excessive regulatory measures (Jerry, 2012). However, to a greater extent, the regulation of the healthcare industry has been a pro.

The rate at which obesity among children in American has skyrocketed in the recent years has become alarming and even though there are a number of other factors that could lead to the obesity cases, this research seeks to focus on the current economic environment and how it affects childhood obesity and generally their health. The paper seeks to view how the developed economic policies contribute to the children’s size and how they can be altered to ensure a healthy childhood for these children. This paper examines the economic causes of obesity and their health implications among children, the government interventions such as taxes, one’s income, the maternal employment, technology and how the government can make the economic environment cost-effective to intervene the obesity issue.
Introduction
Obesity is defined as a condition that is medical and develops when an individual acquires so much fat or weight that would be likely to affect their health. In children, obesity occurs serious effect and the children and adolescents who often are above their normal weight for age and height (Brown, Tamara, et al,2019). Children’s health and obesity has become an issue of concern with its rapid growth over the recent years. The obesity issue in childhood has developed to be complex and multidisciplinary hence the need for information sharing from all forms and fields to help develop solutions for this societal menace (Anderson, Butcher & Levine,2003). To promote such health findings and information sharing, the research topic seeks to address the economic environment factors and how they affect obesity and childhood health in general.
In the study of childhood obesity, economics offers to be a useful tool with studies into the food prices, policies and rationale by government, and developing of intervention rationale. With summaries of recent research, the paper will be able to develop insight understanding and discussions of policies that would help develop recommendation from the economic point of view (Anderson, Butcher & Levine,2003). This paper views review the economic incentives that make people consume more or even burning a few calories.
The effects of the economic environment have been in the previous researches been categorized into direct into indirect effects. The direct effects include factors such as medical costs, food prices as indirect effects are considered through factors such as absenteeism from the job (Anderson, Butcher & Levine,2003). These economic environment conditions need to be addressed to reduce the rate of obesity among small children. The hypothesis of the study would help provide information from the economic point of view that would ensure the reduction of its effects on childhood obesity.
