   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract">The aim of thisthesis was to assesses the impact of online learning on student performance 
at the Namibia Business School during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was in relation to 
students studying towards their Postgraduate Diploma, Masters and Doctor of Business 
Administration. Data was gathered from 3 different campuses including the Windhoek 
main campus, Ongwediva and Swakopmund Campuses. Data for the study was collected 
from a quantitative sample of registered students at the Namibia Business School at the 
University of Namibia. Questionnaires were administered and distributed online because 
of the COVID-19 regulations that were prevailing at the time of the study. The study 
found several challenges to be affecting students’ online journey and key among them 
included lack of internet access, cost of data and noisy environments. Further analysis of 
the findings shows that the online learning processes, benefits of online and student 
motivation are critical and statistically significant predictors of students’ performance in 
online environments. The study concluded that with several challenges in place, online 
learning could be problematic, and these challenges need the cooperation of higher 
education managers and government. It is imperative for NBS to leverage the data-driven 
insights obtained from this study to design adaptable and flexible learning approaches that 
cater to the diverse needs of its student community. By harnessing the potential of 
technology and tailoring educational resources to promote interactive and collaborative 
learning experiences, NBS can create an environment that empowers students to thrive 
academically, even in times of crisis</dim:field>
