Abstract

The major health event is one of the deadliest outbreak in history. Due to the outbreak, the teaching method has changed from the traditional classroom model to the online education model. However, students were not prepared for online learning before. Students have a hard time adapting to an online education model that is completely different from traditional education, which creates many challenges for them. These problems lead to negative academic performance. Accordingly, there is a need to pay attention to the challenges of online learning for higher education students during the pandemic and it is important to recognize these challenges for higher education online learning.
