Distance learning as a learning modality for education during the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously impacted the educational system at all levels, from basic to higher education. To stop the spread of the deadly virus, students, parents, teachers, and school administrators must adapt to the rapid change in learning modality. The implementation and use of distance learning are one of the most effective ways to stop the virus from spreading and enable the continuation of education despite the global crisis. In developing countries where distance learning has not yet been fully mastered and explored, almost everyone, including students, parents, teachers, and school officials, has encountered difficulties. This study employed thematic analysis to identify, interpret, and analyze the meaning of the experiences of the teachers throughout this pandemic. It has been shown that teachers' innovative and creative use of technology considerably enhances students' learning.
