Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic imposed a new order, another pace for humanity. More than ever, in pandemic times, education is called upon to be unique and to reinvent itself by seeking other possibilities through digital technologies in virtual learning environments. Therefore, it is essential to know the critical factors that affect academic performance during online education. This paper aims to present the effects of student characteristics, time management, and course load on online education. The main aim is to check the impact of online education on academic performance with the mediating effect of burnout and technology and the moderating effect. The data was collected from 313 students in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and Peshawar’s reputable business schools, namely, IoBM, IBA, SZABIST, LUMS, IQRA University, and Institute of Management Sciences, and the data was analysed using PLS-SEM and SPSS. The result suggested that time management, course load, and student characteristics significantly impact online education. The result also indicates that burnout does not mediate the relationship between online education and academic performance. This study also investigated the role of technology and instructors as moderators between online education and academic performance. The result shows that the instructor’s role moderates the relationship, but technology has no impact on moderating this relationship.
期刊介绍:
With the advent of VLSI system level integration and system-on-chip, the centre of gravity of the computer industry is now moving from personal computing into embedded computing. Embedded systems are increasingly becoming a key technological component of all kinds of complex technical systems, ranging from vehicles, telephones, audio-video-equipment, aircraft, toys, security systems, medical diagnostics, to weapons, pacemakers, climate control systems, manufacturing systems, intelligent power systems etc. IJES addresses the state of the art of all aspects of embedded computing systems with emphasis on algorithms, systems, models, compilers, architectures, tools, design methodologies, test and applications.
