Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic forced many universities, including those in Saudi Arabia, to suddenly switch from face-to-face to online teaching, forcing them to adapt to online classes while ensuring the quality of teaching. This study aimed to determine whether the quality of face-to-face and online courses delivered to accounting students differs. Perceptions were captured through surveys of a sample of students.
The exploratory factor analysis and constructed perception index for each modality  revealed no significant differences in the perceived quality of face-to-face and online teaching.
