Abstract: Abstract COVID-19 poses a serious danger to the global education system because of its rapid proliferation. The shutdown of institutions in 111 countries by July 2020 will impact more than 1.07 billion students. For conventional brick-and-mortar schools and universities to satisfy the demands of their students, full-time online institutions are becoming increasingly vital. Due to the shift in learning methods, it is essential for students to become adept at using videoconferencing, social media, online discussion forums, and more as they transition from face-to-face to totally online learning. Comparative research was carried out in November 2021 at two private institutions in Lebanon. Students in their first and second year of business school were the focus of the study. Since their first and second years of college, these students have been exposed to a digital learning teaching strategy, but they are not yet comfortable with the format. This paper’s sample consists of 280 university students in their first, second, and third years of business school. Pre-COVID, or face-to-face (F2F) learning, and Post-COVID, or digital teaching and learning, are being contrasted in order to better understand the challenges that students experience while engaging in online education (DL). Descriptive data gathered through Google Forms and evaluated using SPSS will be used in the research. Overall, the average DL score was 33.3, substantially lower than the FF group’s score (41.4.0, p 0.001). In addition, the DL group scored worse than the control group on measures of involvement, communication, preparedness, critical thinking, and group abilities. The impact of various tutorials and instructors was assessed using a subgroup analysis.
