Abstract
This study examines the impact and effectiveness of online learning methods during the COVID-19 pandemic. By analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data, the research evaluates changes in student academic performance and engagement levels, as well as the challenges and opportunities presented by the transition to online education. The findings indicate that while online learning posed significant challenges, such as technical difficulties, feelings of isolation, and a lack of interaction, it also offered notable benefits, including flexibility, personalized pacing, and improved long-term retention of course material. Students who engaged with online learning methods showed a statistically significant improvement in their academic performance, with higher retention rates compared to traditional learning. Educators reported mixed experiences, with those who received adequate training and support able to implement more effective online teaching strategies. This study contributes to understanding the long-term impact of online learning and offers recommendations for optimizing online education for future use.
