Abstract
The traditional classroom environment is gradually losing its monopoly as the sole setting of learning. Digital learning is becoming an attractive model across the higher education spectrum as new innovative information technologies have become widely available. Online learning is used as a tool that improves learning performance while combating the reduction in resources. This work presents a novel study focusing on estimating the efficiency of online learning in comparison to traditional learning for computer related fields in education institutions in Albania. A survey is conducted to estimate the impact that the learning modality has on students enrolled in computer technology related fields. The study focuses on measuring the role that intrinsic factors, teaching practices, learning intentions and programming expertise have on the perceived usefulness and the efficacy of online learning. Measuring the role and effect of the learning modality will be important to estimating whether students and higher level education institutions are ready to shift towards online learning, or to integrate it into the current traditional framework. The results of our study are useful to have a better understanding of the benefits of online learning alongside with the challenges that need to be addressed in order to improve the teaching experience and outcomes.
