Abstract :
The shift from offline to online learning mode
that many countries adopted during the covid-19
pandemic necessitates a greater knowledge on how
students cope with these changes and its effect on their
performance. The offline/traditional learning system has
many advantages especially in facilitating interactions
and idea exchanges between students and teachers.
However little is known about the effect of this transition
to online learning considering the skills that students and
teachers have in using innovative technologies and
programs. We assessed the students’ performance in
both offline and online learning mode during the
coronavirus pandemic period. We also examined the
effective learning mode between the online and offline
mode just comparing both learning modes through
python libraries. We found that there is a significant
difference in the students’ performance between online
and offline learning modes. Our results show that during
this covid-19 pandemic students performed well in online
learning mode compared to students who used and
continued using offline learning. The prediction tools
used suggest that the use of online and offline learning
modes also improved the quality of education and
empowered higher learning institutions to enhance
strategies of more flexibility in offering more web-based
classes. Consequently, the online learning mode appears
to be particularly important in improving the education
quality and the academic performance.
