مستخلص: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented mid-semester transition to virtual learning. Instructors and students had to adapt to new ways of delivering and receiving course material. Objective: The present investigation examined whether course format and sense of belongingness were associated with learning satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as racial/ethnic or gender identity differences in academic experiences during this time. The current study also explored student perceptions of instructor support, changes in workload, and changes in learning. Method: Undergraduate students (N = 157) responded to quantitative and qualitative items regarding their academic experiences during the first semester of the pandemic in an online survey. Results: Blended courses were associated with poorer outcomes than solely synchronous and asynchronous courses. There were no racial differences in academic experiences; however, women had more positive academic experiences than men. Greater academic and campus belongingness predicted better academic experiences. Students perceived clear, frequent instructor communication as vital to their success. Conclusion: Students' experiences with virtual learning varied depending on instructor and student factors.
