Research Abstract
The impacts of COVID-19 induced e-learning on students' education is well researched in a neoliberal context wherein the focus is identifying any potential shift in individual student performance. There is a gap however, in understanding the influence of e-learning on institutional identification, which plays a role in student's on-campus social representation, in addition to academic performance. This qualitative research study will therefore assess a small group of Professional Communication students at Ryerson (X) University to foster greater understanding of the link between institutional connection and online learning. Preliminary expectations are that, in the context of e-learning, students' institutional connection and identification have been reduced. This research highlights the impact of teaching mediums on student learning and engagement experiences and will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on the impacts of online learning on post-secondary institutions.
