The COVID-19 breakout has created enormous challenges yet has allowed checking the technical competencies and prospects of digital platforms in the education sector of Bangladesh.

The study examined the level of satisfaction in online classes compared to traditional classes among college teachers in Bangladesh during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also found out the factors influencing the satisfaction level. 154 college teachers from Dhaka, Chattagram, Khulna and Barishal divisions were surveyed. Teacher’s satisfaction level was measured through descriptive statistics and the influencing determinants through an ordered logit model. The study revealed that the teachers were as much satisfied as the physical class.
