Abstract

This study adopted the scientific approach through social surveying. The researchers used a questionnaire as a data collection tool that aligns with the study. The study sample consisted of students from seven different departments at the Higher Institute of Engineering at Al-Shorouk. The results revealed a moderate positive correlation between satisfaction level and positive social impacts, as well as a weak negative correlation between satisfaction level and negative social impacts. There were significant differences in satisfaction levels between male and female students, favoring males. Additionally, students showed a preference for fully online education over blended learning. No significant differences in student satisfaction were found based on year of study or specialization. Faculty members reported higher levels of satisfaction with the dimensions of the integration process compared to students. A correlation was found between student satisfaction and the dimensions of the integration process. The study concluded with recommendations to provide financial incentives for faculty members to design and teach online courses, develop comprehensive policies for online education, reduce the time and effort required for integrating online and traditional education, prepare students for online learning through guidance courses and assessments, and prioritize the quality of course content.
