Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the entire education system, especially universities, ushering in a new age of education termed as “e-learning.“. E-learning is described as learning aided by electronic technology, such as virtual classes and portals that enable learners to utilize lectures outside of the classroom. The purpose of this study was to see how two independent factors, course content and instructor characteristics, influenced the University College of Applied Sciences “UCAS” students’ academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. To acquire primary data, an empirical study was conducted using 412 questionnaires from UCAS students. According to the study's findings, there is a link between independent variables (course content and instructor characteristics) and the dependent variable (UCAS students’ academic performance) for a number of reasons that were investigated throughout the research.
