Online Education has become a
buzzword since the COVID-19 hit the World. Most of the educational
institutions went online to continue educational activities while
developing countries like Bangladesh took a significant period of time
to ensure online education at every education level. Students of several
levels also faced many difficulties when they got introduced to online
education. It is important for the decisionmakers of educational
institutions to be informed about the effectiveness of online education
so that they can take further steps to make it more beneficial for the
students. Our main motivation is to contribute to this matter by
analyzing the relevant factors associated with online education. In this
work, we have collected students' information of all three different
levels(School, College, and University) by conducting both online and
physical surveys. The surveys form consists of an individual's
socio-demographic factors. To get an idea about the effectiveness of
online education we have applied several machine learning algorithms
named Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Naive Bayes (NB), Support
Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and also Artificial
Neural Network(ANN) on our dataset to predict the adaptability level of
the students to online education. Among used algorithms, the Random
Forest classifier achieved the best accuracy of 89.63% and outperformed
other algorithms.
