This thesis will explore the impact of e-learning on higher education by comparing traditional classroom-based education to online learning platforms. Focus on how the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of e-learning and how this shift has affected both students and educators. Analyze the advantages of e-learning, such as flexibility and accessibility, as well as the challenges, including lack of social interaction, digital divide issues, and concerns about academic integrity. Use case studies from universities that have successfully transitioned to e-learning and provide recommendations for improving the quality of online education.
