Brief Summary

Online Distance Learning (ODL) is an educational delivery system that helps students to join in an educational opportunity without physically existing in the same setting as the teacher. Online learning is known as the education that takes place over the Internet, often referred to as e-Learning, web-based training (WBT), distance learning, or asynchronous learning. When learners participate in an online learning course at different times, it is known as asynchronous learning. online learning involves the umbrella term for any learning that takes place across distance and not in a traditional classroom. WHO recommends Implement social distancing practices that may include; Staggering the beginning and end of the school day and Use of online/e-learning strategies? The coronavirus pandemic has changed how millions around the globe are educated. new shifts in education approaches could widen equality gaps. As of March 13, the Organization for Economic Co-operation estimated that over 421 million students are affected due to school closures announced or implemented in 39 countries. Most faculties in affected areas are finding stop-gap solutions to continue teaching, but the quality of learning is heavily dependent on the level and quality of digital access. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess Nursing students' perception and achievement regarding unplanned shifting the Traditional Classroom-Based to Online Distance Learning as a result of (COVID-19) social distancing measures. H1: Learning perception is lower for nursing students who learned by unplanned Online Distance Learning (μ1) than for those who learned by Traditional Classroom-Based learning (μ2), (H1: μ1 \< μ2). H1: Scholar achievement is greater for nursing students who learned by Traditional Classroom-Based learning (μ1) than for those who learned by unplanned Online Distance Learning (μ2), (H1: μ1 \> μ2). A quasi-experimental research design will be utilized in the current study with a comparative approach. A purposive sample of adult male and female bachelor's students of nursing will be asked to participate in the current study. Three tools will be adopted to collect data relevant to the current study.

1. 1.A brief demographic self-administrated questionnaire
2. 2.Students' Learning Perception Questionnaire (SLPQ),
3. 3.Modified McVay's Readiness for Online Learning Questionnaire
