Abstract
The current COVID-19 pandemic has rapidly shifted institutions of higher education to remote learning environments, which has impacted student learning in unknown ways. The authors surveyed college students to determine how learning was impacted by the shift to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to identify both the factors that created barriers and the factors that helped students succeed. Results indicate four primary factors — instructional design, instructor interactions, student autonomy and responsibility, and life/environmental factors — intersected to create the student learning environment. Implications for addressing barriers and increasing student success are discussed.

Résumé
La pandémie de COVID-19 a rapidement mis les établissements d’enseignement supérieur face à des environnements d’apprentissage à distance, ce qui a eu un impact sur l’apprentissage des étudiants de manière jusque-là inconnue. Les auteurs ont réalisé un sondage après des étudiants pour déterminer comment leur apprentissage a été impacté par le passage à l’enseignement à distance pendant la pandémie COVID-19, et identifier les facteurs qui ont constitué des obstacles et ceux qui ont aidé les étudiants à réussir. Les résultats indiquent quatre facteurs principaux : la conception pédagogique, les interactions avec l’instructeur, l’autonomie et la responsabilité de l’étudiant ainsi que des facteurs de vie/environnement ont contribué à créer l’environnement d’apprentissage des étudiants. Des implications pour faire face aux obstacles et augmenter la réussite des étudiants sont discutées.
