With that after the economic turbulences and downturns, Sri Lanka is managing to give higher education to children on campus for a longer time. As a result of that, student interaction has been achieved, and the education achievement has taken in far with developed countries. In this rapid transition, undergraduates must adapt themselves accordingly to virtual platforms. Though the technology is very poorly developed in the country as per the literature reveal to come out due to this Covid-19 pandemic new term has arrived at Sri Lanka. Though it is a new platform, through a lot of difficulties try to manage it. By considering the above facts, the objective of this study is to find out factors affecting the undergraduate perception of online learning, and how it can be used to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of online education. As a sample 373 undergraduates are going to be selected for the quantitative study using a simple random sampling method while for the qualitative study 10 industry experts and academic experts are going to be selected by using the judgmental sampling method. As the data collection method for the quantitative component, the semistructured questionnaire is going to be used while, for the qualitative component focus group discussions and interviews are going to be used which is in the consistent method in research methodology. Finally, as the data analytical path for the qualitative study thematic approach is going to be used while for the quantitative study linear regression model is going to be used as parameter estimates. As a statistical tool for a quantitative study, SPSS version 22 to be used while, for the qualitative study QDMINSER is going to be used.

A STUDY ON THE INFLUENCE FROM SOCIETAL/CULTURAL CONSTRAINTS ON UNDERGRADUATES' PERCEPTION REGARDING THE TRANSITION OF LEARNING FROM ON-CAMPUS TO ONLINE

This traditional approach fostered valuable student interaction and demonstrably propelled educational attainment towards a level comparable to developed nations. However, recent times have witnessed a rapid shift, with undergraduates forced to adapt to virtual learning platforms amidst the limitations of the country's technological infrastructure, a challenge further amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the infancy of this online learning paradigm, Sri Lanka has actively addressed the numerous hurdles associated with its implementation. This study seeks to investigate the factors shaping undergraduate perceptions of online learning and how this knowledge can contribute to optimizing the efficiency and effectiveness of this educational model. Employing a quantitative approach with a sample size of 373 undergraduates selected through simple random sampling method, data was collected via a structured questionnaire and analyzed using linear regression within SPSS version 22. The findings revealed significant transitions, particularly in social-cultural constraints, which exhibited a substantial shift towards more positive attitudes. The burgeoning ubiquity of online courses has transcended geographical limitations, fostering the evolution of online learning into a nexus for cross-cultural knowledge exchange.
