Abstract

Expanding educational settings to include online and hybrid modes requires discussing their challenges. This study explores the difficulties undergraduates encounter, including the impact on mental health concerns. These quantitative studies were distributed through a Google Form among 529 university students and analyzed using SPSS version 26. The survey reveals that individuals face multiple challenges, including anxiety and despair, while engaging in online and hybrid learning. It is recommended that suitable guidelines be formulated to mitigate the issues associated with online and hybrid learning for a better learning experience.
