Driven by the current circumstances of the COVID-19 outbreak, this study investigates the rise of online teaching in higher education (HE). It collects feedback from the teaching professionals regarding their opinion on E-learning experience to answer the following question: in the distinctive rise of e-learning during the covid-19 outbreak, what are the main challenges and opportunities in conducting your online teaching? This study has numerous implications related to E-learning in higher education. It provides recommendations to governments and university policy-makers in designing the policies and programs on E-learning. Furthermore, the university’s top management (i.e. president, VP, dean of college and HOD) need to concentrate on the importance of enhancing education quality in their institutions during this exceptional time.
