Abstract:

The research evaluates how Al-Baha University programming students perceive the W3Schools e-learning system compared to traditional classroom methodology. The study measures motivation patterns, problem-solving abilities, and learning style preferences to determine the effects of e-learning. By combining quantitative methodologies with qualitative analysis, the research seeks to understand how students perform in programming and their levels of determination in virtual learning environments, as well as their likelihood of continuing with e-learning. Online students appreciated W3Schools for its flexibility, easy interface, and clear tutorials but noted issues with internet connectivity. On the other hand, traditional learners disliked the formal lecture sessions, particularly their fast pace. E-learning proves beneficial for students due to adaptable schedules and personalized educational content; however, there is a need for further development of technical skills and socialization features.
