Assessment of Quality of the Electronic Education System in the Corona Crisis Period: Applied Study on Al al-Bayt University
In response to the coronavirus crisis, higher education institutions
have partially or fully transformed into electronic education systems (EESs). This
paper presents the results of a student survey conducted at AL al-Bayt University
to assess the quality of the electronic educational system (EES) during the coronavirus
pandemic. The study variables addressed by the questionnaire were tangible
physical features (TPFs), flexibility (FEES), examination construction and
management (ECM); admission, storage, and registration management (ASRM),
security and privacy (S&P), learning site content (LSC); and students? level of
satisfaction (LoS). The exploratory study methodology was applied to 324 students
at AABU, where the research data were collected using a Google Docs
questionnaire and distributed to students. The results highlighted that students
were satisfied with the quality of EES implemented by AABU during the lockdown
period in terms of tangible physical features (TPF) and learning site content
(LSC) and there was a statistically significant relationship between TPF and LSC.
However, some undesirable features were reported, such as a lack of adequate
infrastructure for students, which enabled them to interact effectively with their
teachers to gain the target of applying EES. Consequently, AABU needs to implement
effective measures to improve and increase the quality and level of satisfaction
with EES. Finally, electronic education is a more adapted, smooth, and
affordable alternative than traditional face-to-face education.
