ABSTRACT

High quality online university courses are required during the outburst of the pandemic. The teaching and learning efficiency of online courses could attribute to various internal and external factors. Taken the characteristics of online teaching into consideration, this paper uses the online teaching interactions as the main determinants. In the empirical analysis, the effectiveness of an online financial engineering courses is evaluated. AHP method is applied to evaluate the learning efficiency of individual students. The result from the empirical analysis supports the hypothesis that effective communication in an online courses would improve learning efficiency. The students with the best communication skills would have the best performance in the final exams. To improve the quality of online teaching and distance learning, seamless communication and efficient interaction are the most crucial tasks.
