Reckonel Simpson
Abstract: The COVID -19 pandemic has over the last two years impacted educational institutions globally resulting in many colleges and universities going online. The teaching and learning delivery have experienced severe disruptions as institutions move their teaching and learning activities to online platforms. The present study examined the perceived impact of digital transformation on students? learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic at a particular tertiary institution among a set of college students and the challenges faced from the transition to online modality. For this purpose, participants were engaged in an online survey via a Google Forms link which directed them to the online survey. The review demonstrates that in addition to technical challenges, connectivity problems, and subpar student interfaces, students' discontent with the assistance programs implemented by their educational institution resulted from the shift in learning to an online format. Furthermore, students mentioned that there were some benefits in relation to lower expenses for uniform purchases and transportation to school. In order to improve crisis readiness and maintain educational continuity and quality during a global crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic, the recommendations for future research should be done to ascertain the impact of the digital transformation on students' learning during the pandemic.
