Students' perceptions of e-learning and its effects on student outcomes amid the Covid 19 outbreak

Abstract

The worldwide incidence of COVID-19 disease has risen significantly, as COVID-19 was declared a pandemic disease by WHO on March 11, 2020. Iraq declared the emergency condition, followed by the curfew, in response to the COVID-19 crisis. As a result, after the COVID-19 pandemic, educational facilities were closed and distance learning emerged as a new educational tool to ensure the continuity of education in universities. With the emergence of the (Covid-19) epidemic in the world today, it has become difficult to collect students in one semester, so higher education in Iraq has become dependent on e learning in all its lessons. Therefore, this study was designed to know the student's outcomes after relying on e-learning and comparing it to the traditional method in education  and As well as to see the extent of students' acceptance of e-learning and whether it is considered a successful alternative to traditional education in light of COVID-19.
