Abstract:

Electronic learning is regularly referred to as online studying or internet learning. It basically incorporates learning on the web through the courses that are offered on the web. Messages, live addresses, and videoconferencing are, on the whole, conceivable through the web. This empowers every one of the members to give their perspectives on a specific point and, after that, examine them further. Keeping this in view, a validated instrument was adopted, and data were collected from the identified top 30 faculty members from Kabul City following the Judgmental sampling technique. Further, collected data were analyzed using multiple regression methods through the latest version of SPSS. The result of the study reveals that overall online studying significantly (0.05) depends on the group of identified dimensions such as Pedagogical, Technological, Interface, Management, Resource support and Institutional. Further, the pedagogical dimension shows noteworthy higher consequences on online studying with maximum t-value. In conclusion, a few limitations and future research options were also discussed in the present study.
