The study sought to acquire a multinational perspective of online learning using data gathered from college students in the Philippines, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the Sultanate of Oman. Using a survey questionnaire of closed and open-ended questions, the respondents were asked about convenience, academic pressure and integrity, and the benefits and drawbacks of attending online classes. The results, after undergoing statistical processing, show that students from the three countries generally perceive online classes as effective, convenient, practical and, on the whole, better than face-to-face instruction. The main problem cited centred on the quality of connection. The study recommends that institutions come up with strategies based on the identified advantages of remote learning while taking steps to improve connection issues.
