Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of online and distance learning management in response to the education crisis. This study adopted a qualitative case study design and collected both primary and secondary data. The primary data was analyzed thematically. The study relied heavily on secondary sources including the previous crisis education handling. Primary data was collected at a realistic level through informal conversational interviews and organized individual interviews. the sample was purposefully selected to be thirty participants, fifteen drawn from teaching and lecturing faculty, and fifteen more being students in various higher institutions. Despite some challenges discussed, the importance of online learning in specific and online learning has made a powerful influence in learning and teaching. The implementation in some institutions has enhanced access to knowledge for faculty and learners, and has created a rich atmosphere for collaboration among students that has improved academic standards. It is recommended that at least one and ideally many times, carry out instruction for the technical use of all kinds of software required to perform aspects of the on-line learning as presented in the situation of a learning experience. Teachers should facilitate the learning process that promotes social interaction, active learning, and self-motivation.
