Abstract

In this study, the factors affecting personal development and online education of undergraduate computer science students during pandemic lockdown have been investigated. Due to sudden outbreak of Covid-19, undergraduate students were forced to shift to home-schooling, an experience they never tried before. The results of the conducted survey and some academic performance features were combined to identify the factors affecting personal development and online education. Online lecture attendance and having personal timetable were found to be effective factors on personal development. We observe that final year students are more likely to take part in personal development activities. The availability of the technological facilities has direct effect on online course attendance and satisfaction, moreover, there was strong correlation between online education satisfaction and personal development.
