abstract = "This study explored anxiety among students studying online during the Covid-19 pandemic. Fifty university students on a statistical methodology course in a UK university completed a survey assessing anxiety pertaining to online learning, mathematics, computers, state-trait, and the pandemic situation. Online learning anxiety (OLA) was positively and significantly related to the other forms of anxiety. Women reported significantly higher OLA compared to men before controlling for other types of anxiety. After controlling for gender and other anxieties, computer anxiety remained a significant predictor of OLA, suggesting support may be best directed towards the use of computers and possibly the use of technology more broadly. Self-reports also revealed a range of triggers of anxiety, including worry concerning online distraction. These findings offer insight into ways in which educators can support students in an online learning context.",
