The Coronavirus disease brought the whole world to a standstill. To prevent the spread of virus the schools and colleges were closed worldwide which resulted in many sufferings among students. Countries are at various stages of COVID 19 infection and therefore more than 1.2 billion kids in 186 countries did not go to school due to this pandemic. This forced the education system to transit to online and in a time span of few months teaching and learning was back to normal, the learning continued. Though pandemic has impacted normal education to a great extent yet Universities and schools geared up using innovative tools and techniques but how effective was this transition towards student performance to answer this it becomes imperative to understand how it impacted students learning and performance, how much compatible they are with this new learning system and how much satisfied they are with the instructors. To understand these issues this study is aimed to study the students attitude towards online learning environment and measure the relationship between the various online learning environment factors and students behaviour. The results of the study would help universities and schools to take decisions towards providing appropriate online infrastructure by implementing a range of collaboration tools and techniques and its management and build strategies to promote global education network.
