Most universities have implemented an online learning system to ensure that students, particularly those who are pursuing advanced degrees, can continue their education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Converting from traditional face-to-face classes to online mode is not a simple process. Students must adapt to the rapid changes and workload, which are mandatory for them to participate in. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that contribute to students' satisfaction with online learning, specifically on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social interaction, social presence and motivation. A quantitative study was conducted on 71 postgraduate coursework students at Universiti Malaysia Terengganu to determine the relationship between online learning satisfaction and the five variables. The findings indicated that only perceived ease of use and motivation could enhance online learning satisfaction. The study discovered that the majority of students were satisfied with online learning due to the convenience of attending such classes and their motivation to participate in those classes. Further research is recommended to focus on improving online education through reduction of stress and depression, particularly during pandemics.

The aim of this study is to evaluate Sultan Qaboos University's (SQU) Civil and Architecture Engineering Department (CAED) students' satisfaction with online learning platforms during the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic in Oman. Transformative learning theories were the base for the theoretical approach of this study, while Moodle and Google Meet are the key learning tools.

The collected data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS software. Standard Deviation (SD), ANOVA test, Residuals Statistics, and Regression Correlations tests were used to validate the Average Mean Score (AMS). Based on the study results, students are not completely satisfied with the faculty and staff at the university. In addition to specific platforms to use, grading systems, assessment options, training workshops, and online technical support, they also agreed on other details. Participants also reported high satisfaction with Moodle as the most effective platform for delivering lectures, followed by Google Meet/ Classroom.
