The goal of this project was to determine the major factors affecting remote education at Chouaïb Doukkali University (UCD) during the COVID-19 era to assist in providing a better educational model for their student body. Our group conducted 3 surveys and 12 interviews with the help of our sponsor, Dr. Youssef Baddi. Survey 1 focused on evaluating UCD students’ Internet accessibility, while Surveys 2 and 3 and the interviews centered around student and faculty perceptions of remote education. Based on our findings, our group recommended UCD push for an asynchronous remote model and promote a sense of community and instructor/student interaction. Our group also provided an instructional online course for UCD faculty on how to use Microsoft Teams to host asynchronous remote classes.
