Due to the shift from traditional face‐to‐face to online learning, challenges in learning environments are on the rise. The aim of this study was to assess students’ satisfaction with a service course conducted online at a funded university in Europe using a structural equation model. The construction and validation of five scales for measuring students’ learning and satisfaction is also presented. One thousand one hundred and sixteen students were given an online questionnaire in January, 2019. The scales were found to be sufficiently valid and reliable. The interaction, instructor behaviors, advantages/flexibility, and perceived learning/course quality were influential in students’ satisfaction. Success in e‐learning can be achieved with the help of these findings via improving e‐learning strategies. Further studies can be conducted on students’ learning and satisfaction while participating in other online courses using the same scales.

In this aspect, Zaki and Zawaidy (2014) [19] highlighted that the instructors are more familiar with transmitting information with face to face interaction and are less familiar with creating computer-based interactions such as synchronous or asynchronous discussions or creating quizzes with feedback for each answer and may need time to develop different ways of working within technological systems.…”

“…Implementing new ideas, and strategies in a workplace can be difficult because of the beliefs and attitudes of the people working in that given place (DiMattia et al, 1987). Adopting new technology while teaching can also affect the success of students and educational institutions (Al Meajel & Sharadgah, 2018). At King Saud University (KSU), courses and training for academic staff in using online teaching and different media started over ten years ago, and many academic staff enrolled in these courses.…”

The closure of schools, universities and educational institutions across Saudi Arabia, and maintaining social distancing as a preventive and precautionary measure against COVID-19, have all changed the mode of teaching from a conventional standard system to a virtual and online framework. Such a quick and sudden shift in the educational system might cause intense stress on students. This content research analysis aims to identify the academic stressors by analysing the worries and fears that students at the College of Education (King Saud University) are experiencing during the time of COVID-19. The results show that the issue with the highest percentage of stress among students is their uncertainty over the end of semester exams and assessments.
