Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic mandated the change from face-to-face learning to distance learning. As a result, the quality of distance learning worldwide is questionable. Objectives and aims The aim of this study is to investigate the quality of distance learning among university students at the University of Jordan, as well as its determinants and obstacles. Methods A questionnaire-based cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate students at the University of Jordan from May 29 to July 11, 2021. Using a quantitative approach, students' attitudes toward and perceptions of online and distance education were analyzed. The Distance Education Learning Environments Survey (DELES) tool was used to evaluate the quality of distance learning during COVID-19 pandemic. IBM SPSS Version 25 was used for data analysis. Results The total number of participants was 486, and the mean total DELES score was 61.6 ± 24.6. The lowest mean of DELES score components was for the active learning component (6.9 ± 2.9). Moreover, 65.9% of the students were very dissatisfied or dissatisfied with the quality of distance learning. The quality of distance learning derived by the total DELES score was determined by several general demographics, and students' perceptions and attitudes. Conclusions The present study showed a low quality of distance learning and high levels of dissatisfaction among students at the University of Jordan. Thus, improvement of distance learning quality by filling its infrastructural defects and the implementation of its adjunct tools are required. In addition, we recommend collaboration with regional and international educational institutions to improve the quality of distance learning.
背景 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行促使学习方式从面对面学习转变为远程学习。因此，全球远程学习的质量令人质疑。
目的和目标 本研究旨在调查约旦大学学生的远程学习质量，及其决定因素和障碍。
方法 2021年5月29日至7月11日，在约旦大学的本科生中进行了一项基于问卷的横断面研究。采用定量方法，分析了学生对在线教育和远程教育的态度及看法。使用远程教育学习环境调查（DELES）工具评估 COVID-19 大流行期间的远程学习质量。数据分析使用 IBM SPSS 25 版。
结果 参与者总数为 486 人，DELES 总平均分是 61.6 ± 24.6。DELES 得分各组成部分的最低平均分是主动学习部分（6.9 ± 2.9）。此外，65.9% 的学生对远程学习质量非常不满意或不满意。由 DELES 总分得出的远程学习质量由几个一般人口统计学因素以及学生的看法和态度决定。
结论 本研究表明，约旦大学的远程学习质量较低，学生不满程度较高。因此，需要通过填补其基础设施缺陷并实施辅助工具来提高远程学习质量。此外，我们建议与区域和国际教育机构合作，以提高远程学习质量。
