Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has compelled educational institutions to shift from traditional classrooms to online teaching, introducing numerous challenges for teachers and students unfamiliar with this new approach. Existing studies on the use of ICT tools in education have not fully addressed the specific challenges arising from the COVID-19 outbreak. This review aims to resolve the issues faced by teachers and students in online classes, particularly benefiting overseas students. It emphasises the importance of teachers mastering technological devices to enhance instructional activities and stresses the need for effective time management due to time zone differences for international students. During class time, students must remain attentive and minimise disruptions. Educational officials play a crucial role in creating a favourable learning environment. In summary, this study seeks practical solutions to address challenges and improve online education during the pandemic.
