Examining E-Learning Adoption in Construction Education in a Developing Country during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the adoption of social distancing and the closing of public places. One of the public places affected was tertiary education settings where universities had to close. Without a physical school environment, some tertiary institutions resulted in e-learning. Therefore, this study examined e-learning adoption in construction education in a developing country during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study used a cross-sectional survey research design through an online questionnaire form. The study revealed the leading e-learning platforms used during this period. In conclusion, the study revealed the significant challenges and benefits of e-learning adoption in construction education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, the study recommended more investment in e-learning infrastructure for both students and tutors.
