Results: The majority of the respondents felt that e-learning did not affect their study and learning performance. They also felt satisfied with the usage of e-learning that was considered as an effective method. There was a significant association between area of living out campus and satisfaction level in e-learning (p<.05).
Conclusion: E-learning does not impact the students’ academic performance during the pandemic. Students reported that e-learning is suitable, effective, and they felt satisfied with the usage of e-learning during pandemic.
