“…This may indicate the existence of some technical, social, or cultural difficulties for countries in distance education. Lack of strong telecommunication infrastructure, inability to abandon cultural habits, insufficient technical personnel, and financial reasons can be seen as the main problems encountered in distance education to be overcome (Mirza and Al-Abdulkareem, 2011;Basha, Hussein and Maklad, 2021).…”

Despite numerous studies examining student preferences in terms of live and recorded lecture viewings, the effects of lesson viewings on online platforms have been limitedly studied. In this study, the rates of attending live lectures and viewing lecture recordings in the Covid-19 era were examined, and attendance and viewings effects on final scores in these courses were evaluated. For this purpose, data from online education systems of live and record viewings for Turkish Literature, mathematics, and biostatistics classes in the spring semester of 2021-2022, belonging to 13 Turkish universities and 2082 students, were utilized. We found that (1) Thirteen percent of the students did not view any live or recorded courses, and approximately one-third did not enter the final exam; (2) The students in state universities have significantly higher record viewing rates than those in private universities with medium effect size, (3) Females present significantly higher live viewings and record viewing rates than males with small effect sizes; (4) Biostatistics has moderate-high correlations between viewing rates and final scores. On the other hand, there are no or weak relationships between the viewing rates and final scores for Turkish literature and mathematics, in which study materials can be widely accessed from many sources different from biostatistics.

“…According to the study of Basha et al (2021) [45] that was conducted to analyze the philosophy of distance learning in the Egyptian construction engineering education, most students preferred face-to-face and written communication with teaching assistants. Students may use tools such as recorded lectures and courses to become more involved with course content by studying at any time, any place, and at their own pace.…”

The COVID-19 Pandemic has challenged the educational systems worldwide, and in an attempt to overcome such challenges, educational institutions were forced to adjust their educational content from the traditional methods of learning to online methods of delivery instead. This paper is the first paper to collect data from three different types of universities to examine the students’ attitudes towards online learning in Egypt amid COVID-19. A total of 450 undergraduate students were surveyed to predict online learning achievement. The study examined issues related to technical challenges, electronic communication, online learning motivation, students’ personal attributes and competencies, and their interactions with colleagues and instructors. The findings of the study provide useful insights regarding the students' attitudes towards currently adopted methods of online learning and suggest several implications that could aid educational institutions in the formulation of strategies that would enhance the overall online learning experience. This paper also serves as a foundation for further research and discussion.

“…The higher education sector globally has been transforming over the past years with the technological advancements introduced to the field, it has changed the way the learning process is being viewed. Online learning and blended learning have emerged resulting in a vast amount of students' data and a needing call for a tool that could help at extracting meaningful information helping at monitoring the overall educational process, one of these tools is learning analytics which was introduced at the beginning of year 2011 [1,2,3]. On the contrary, universities in developing countries especially in the Arab region are falling behind in the race of educational digital transformation which was exposed during different crisis such as the Arab Spring revolutions and the COVID-19.…”

The higher education institutions in developing countries such as Egypt are challenged with the high enrollment student rates, crowded classes, and inability to track the progress of each student individually which increased the demand to find a solution that can redeem those problems. Although the usage of learning analytics is an expanding solution to support different educational challenges from performance tracking to detecting students at risk, learning analytics’ developments concentrated on addressing solutions for developed countries. Accordingly, the discipline still requires a broader and in-depth interpretation of its contextual usage in developing countries, especially Egypt. A research model has been constructed based on literature and tested for its validity and reliability. A questionnaire has been distributed to 148 university students. The study used smart-PLS to interpret and analyze the collected data. The study revealed that organizational culture, data accessibility, trustworthiness, visualization has a positive effect on awareness, while lack of ability has a negative effect on awareness. both infrastructure and awareness have a significant positive effect on learning analytics impact. The research indicates high learning analytics awareness and a high perceived impact on Egyptian higher education. More evidence should be extracted with the collection of more insights from students, faculty members, and decision-makers.
