Abstract:

Background and Objective: The emergence of COVID-19 and its prevalence in the global community had various economic, social, emotional, psychological, and educational impacts. The closure of schools and universities in the country because of the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to the emergence of e-Learning in education at all levels. Given the importance of virtual education during the pandemic and the need to improve its quality at schools and universities, this study aims to explore the quality, efficacy, and understanding of the strengths and drawbacks of virtual education from the perspectives of professors and students at Ahvaz Jundishapur University. Methods: In the domains of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and audiology, the current descriptive-analytical study was done with 17 professors and 210 undergraduate and postgraduate (master’s degree) students. The data was collected using the Persian version of the Watkins e-learning standard questionnaire and was analyzed via the SPSS software, version 26. Results: From the professors’ perspective, the quality and effectiveness of virtual education based on different components of the questionnaire did not differ significantly and all dimensions were considered effective. However, the students considered the dimensions of technology access and online skills and relationships as strengths and faced challenges in the importance of success. Conclusions: Considering the identified strengths and challenges, it seems that policymakers in the field of education should pay special attention to providing the necessary conditions and facilities to improve the quality of learners’ virtual education.
