Crises possess a remarkable propensity to serve as catalysts for change, particularly within the sphere of education. They catalyze change in several key dimensions, including Accelerated Adoption of Technology, Highlighting Inequalities, Global Collaboration, Adaptation of Assessment Methods, Engagement with Online Resources, and Reimagining Education. In essence, crises compelling educational institutions to reevaluate long-standing norms and embrace innovative solutions. They shine a spotlight on challenges that may have remained overlooked and stimulate the formulation of strategies aimed at cultivating a more robust, adaptable, and inclusive educational landscape. This study provides a comprehensive strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of E-learning at The University of Jordan amid the COVID-19 pandemic, offering valuable insights for strategic planning during crises. Based on data collected from 379 undergraduate students in the year 2022, it reveals strengths in terms of convenience and flexibility but highlights weaknesses such as low bandwidth and unstable internet connections. Additionally, it recognizes the opportunity for E-learning effectiveness during lockdowns while identifying threats like unreliable power supply and inconsistent internet access. This analysis enriches our understanding of the educational landscape and equips decision-makers with essential insights to enhance E-learning resilience and effectiveness during challenging times.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought a profound transformation in the higher education landscape, compelling universities worldwide to pivot towards E-learning as the primary mode of instruction. This study, which was performed on a sample of 330 undergraduate students at The University of Jordan, undertook an in-depth exploration of student satisfaction with E-learning at The University of Jordan during this unprecedented shift, examining it through four demographic variables: gender, residence, faculty type, and academic year. The researchers employed rigorous statistical analyses, including calculations of mean and standard deviation, as well as one-way ANOVA tests, to thoroughly examine the data. The findings indicate a strong overall satisfaction level among students regarding E-learning, with discernible variations between items. There is a noteworthy correlation observed between students' academic faculty and their academic year in relation to their satisfaction level, with a p-value below 0.05, indicating statistical significance. This underscores the nuanced influence of these demographic factors in shaping students' perceptions and contentment levels as they navigate the evolving landscape of higher education during this extraordinary period. While the gender and the residence have no effect on the satisfaction level.

Technological advancements affect everyday life; they benefited our daily routines, habits, and activities. Underwater diving is one of the most interesting and attractive activities for tourists worldwide but could be risky and challenging. When paths are not clear, diving might take additional time and effort leading to some health problems. Thus, providing divers with proper direction information to surf underwater can be useful and helpful. Also, monitoring diverse health statuses and alerting them in case of any undesirable condition can increase their safety. Smart devices such as mobiles, watches, sensor devices, cellular networks along with the Internet of Things (IoT) can all provide location-based services. Such services can help in providing the best path for the divers and monitor their health status during diving. This paper proposes a new underwater routing approach, called Underwater Routing for Smart Diving “URSD”, which provides divers with routing information to visit underwater cultural or natural resources and monitors their health status during the diving period. The URSD approach was simulated and compared with the shortest path. Results showed that the URSD helped divers to route within paths that have a larger number of nodes, furthermore, it could enhance and improve divers experience and help them mitigate underwater risks.
