Abstract:
Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, many educational institutions dramatically moved
from face-to-face (traditional) learning and teaching to online delivery. Accordingly, similar to
other universities, Palestinian universities had to cope with this global pandemic and transform
from traditional teaching and learning to online learning. This study aims to explore Palestinian
university students' and instructors' attitudes toward the shift to online delivery. Precisely, this
study aims to explore whether Palestinian Universities fulfilled the international standards of
online learning. The researchers utilized two sets of questionnaires to collect data from the
various Palestinian universities. The first questionnaire was used to collect data from university
students and the second aimed to gather data from University instructors. The participants of
the study were 375 students and instructors. The researchers found that those Palestinian
university instructors have a tendency to agree that their universities met most IHEP
benchmarks for online learning. However, the findings revealed that students had a tendency
to have less agreement that online learning met IHEP benchmarks. Finally, the researchers
suggested some recommendations
