Abstract

The sudden emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic caused panic and anxiety among students all over the world. The education institutions were among many that had suffered significant damage as a result of the pandemic. Following the closure of educational institutes, it was a challenging moment for professional education, which was combated by the development of Digital-learning via online classrooms to assure the students' continued participation in the teaching-learning process. The purpose of this study is to see how effective online education is compared to traditional classroom education among university students. A quantitative survey of university students was conducted. This study included 300 students in total. The students were given a questionnaire with 30 questions to rate the efficiency of online learning through e-classes as well as their grasp of online communication.Online classes were proven to be less successful than traditional learning approaches. This manner of education was deemed unsatisfactory by the respondents. It is possible to infer that while e-education can augment the current educational process, it cannot completely replace it.
