This research aims to investigate the transition in the Higher Education Institution (HEIs) as a result of Covid-19 pandemic and how the HEIs in the Sultanate of Oman reacted to this change. It seeks to explore and analyze the online teaching and learning, online assessment and examinations, technical and non-technical support at HEIs during Covid-19 qualitatively. The study found that HEIs have faced constraints such as adaptation to the new system, infrastructure, etc., but they are now more prepared for technology acceptance and use than before. It is suggested to work on enhancing infrastructure, software platforms/tools, online class management, assessment and examinations, and capacity building.
