Abstract

The paper investigated the architectural criticism course in the faculty of engineering at Kafrelsheikh University in Egypt during the online learning period following COVID-19. It applied qualitative and quantitative analytical methods. The former explored the pedagogical nature of the course. The latter adopted an anonymous structured questionnaire submitted to students. It evaluated the course’s delivery, visualization, quality, and feedback policy.  The conducted results are analyzed through IBM SPSS statistical software, testing the variables’ reliability and validity.
The study was concluded by a statistical correlation matrix between groups of pair-variables and illustrated by an entity relational chart. It defined the key parameters influencing the digital course format. The paper offers a study measuring, assessing, and testing the performance of digital formats through statistical data analysis. The study encourages conducting dashboards displaying the key performance indicators of online courses in different academic institutions (local and global), highlighting its overall progress and imperfections. Accordingly, this research work would accelerate the improvement of the digital formats to act immediately in possible emergencies.
