      Statement of the problem: Spread of COVID-19 in the world has led to a shift in teaching and&#xD;
      learning techniques to online methods in order to prevent transmission of the disease. Misr&#xD;
      International University (MIU) has an established online learning system that has been used&#xD;
      together with face-to-face classes. However, shifting all courses in all the faculties to the&#xD;
      online mode is a new experience that needs to be assessed to allow for future improvement&#xD;
      plans.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Aim: To assess and compare the satisfaction and perceptions of full-time teaching staff and&#xD;
      undergraduate students regarding online learning during COVID-19 crisis.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Method: An online anonymous questionnaire will be distributed to all Misr International&#xD;
      University (MIU) students and staff members. The total number of students is 8679 and the&#xD;
      total number of staff members regardless of their academic title is 530. The questionnaire&#xD;
      will be validated by three experts and piloting will be performed on a sample of&#xD;
      participants. The questionnaire consists of five sections: Demographics, satisfaction with&#xD;
      online teaching and learning methods, knowledge, and perception of COVID-19.&#xD;
