Abstract

Background: Online teaching and learning in Public Health has emerged as an important and perhaps transformative development in higher education in the recent 4.0 industrial era. So far, no studies have explored the perceptions of students with respect to whether online learning enhances academic experience. Methods: The purpose of this study was to determine whether online learning enhances the general student experience and satisfaction.

Results: The results showed that the majority of the participants were females, and the mean age average was 39 years.
