“…Student anxiety levels during the sudden shift to online learning moderately influenced student perceptions of independence and responsibility in their learning as well as learning goal achievement (Almoayad et al, 2020). In another study in Saudi Arabia, among 281 health science students, overall 62% of the students expressed their satisfaction with online learning (Aziz Ansari et al, 2021).…”

There was no significant difference between the perception of female and male students. The students’ perception differences were found statistically significant by departments, classes, watching lessons live, having technology difficulties and using different device to access to online education. These findings confirmed that the sudden shift to online education made a different experience for health students. The research concludes with suggestions to design online education for any unexpected pandemic.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Saudi universities have adopted e-learning systems to ensure that educational activities continue. Shaqra University adopted a platform called the Shaqra University e-learning platform. This study aimed to identify the factors contributing to the success of that platform in Shaqra University, based on students’ responses. This research has proposed an extension of well-known DeLone and McLean’s Information Systems Success (D&M ISS) model to check and validate the success factors of the Shaqra University platform. The questionnaire was adopted in this study to collect data from students currently enrolled at Shaqra University. One thousand online links to the questionnaire were randomly distributed among current students enrolled in Shaqra University. The results revealed that the instrument adopted in this study was valid and reliable. Also, the results showed that the model was a good fit for the Saudi context. The proposed factors of instructor’s quality, learner quality, and perceived usefulness positively impacted the e-learning platform. On the other hand, the factors information quality, system quality and service quality had no positive impact on the use of the e-learning platform.

Background: The spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused restrictions and shutdowns affecting the economic situation, employment, and the educational needs of society. Meanwhile, the universities of medical sciences have faced serious problems in education. Objectives: The present study aimed to assess the satisfaction of the students of Ghaen and Ferdows medical schools with virtual education during the COVID-19 epidemic. In addition, the factors effective in this satisfaction are investigated. Methods: This descriptive-analytical (cross-sectional) study was conducted at Ghaen School of Nursing and Midwifery and Ferdows School of Paramedical Sciences and Health, Iran, using a researcher-made questionnaire provided to students online. The study population was all the students of these two faculties. The sample size was estimated as 285 people using the Morgan table, and 296 individuals participated in the study. Data were collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential tests by the SPSS software version 24. Results: Our findings showed that most (40.2%) students had moderate satisfaction, and only 5.74% had very high satisfaction with virtual education. The mean satisfaction of female students was higher than males without a statistically significant difference (P = 0.4). Moreover, the results of the analysis of variance revealed that the level of the academic satisfaction of students is different in distinct academic levels (P = 0.007). In addition, Pearson’s correlation coefficient indicated a significant positive correlation between age and academic satisfaction score (P = 0.001, r = 0.185). Conclusions: Overall, the results of the present study showed that less than half of the students were moderately satisfied with virtual education. According to the students, this dissatisfaction mainly results from the lack of a suitable infrastructure for virtual classes. Usually, satellite branches are weaker than the main university in terms of facilities and equipment, and solving these problems requires the special attention of education officials and managers.
