This study aimed to explore the strengths and weaknesses of e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic from the perspective of its primary stakeholders, namely professors and students, and to provide practical solutions. The results showed that e-learning has strengths such as saving money, time, and energy, as well as the ability to individualize education. However, it also has weaknesses including infrastructure difficulties and problems with the ability of professors and students to use educational systems. Improving infrastructure and empowering professors and students to use educational systems were identified as important solutions.

Strengths were presented in 6 themes and 26 subthemes, weaknesses in 5 themes and 23 subthemes, and solutions were presented in 5 themes and 20 subthemes. Save money, time and energy; use modern software and educational technologies; and the ability to individualize education were among the strengths of e-learning. The most important weaknesses related to e-learning include infrastructure difficulties, problems related to the ability of professors and students to use educational systems. The most beneficial solutions offered included improving and upgrading the e-learning infrastructure, empowering professors and students to use educational systems.
