Abstract

This study aims to identify factors influencing student transition to online education (STOE) during the COVID19 pandemic in Romania. Although Romania boasts high internet speed, accessibility and affordability, online education is in its infancy. Academic experience variables found in the literature were narrowed into five factors through exploratory factor analysis, and regressed together with online platform and demographic variables to measure their impact on STOE. 565 business students from all academic levels were surveyed. The study uncovered direct and inverse relationships between the five groups of factors, platform functionality, enrolment level and place of residence, and STOE. Findings are relevant to academics and university managers for improving online education.
