AB [EN] The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about notable changes in the education sector, specif-ically the shift towards online learning. This study examined the experiences of 124 engineeringstudents in the Canary Islands, an EU ultra-peripheral region, as they adapted to online educationduring the pandemic. A comprehensive survey assessed students’ experiences in five key dimensions,including satisfaction with traditional face-to-face learning, perceptions of the engineering depart-ment’s transition to online learning, module-specific adaptations, personal adaptation strategies,and the adaptation of teaching staff. The study’s methodology involved statistical analyses usingMicrosoft Excel v16.0 and SPSS 27 tools to identify patterns and draw conclusions. The findingsindicate a nuanced landscape. Students demonstrated strong technological literacy and readiness foronline learning. However, they expressed concerns about educators’ digital proficiency and perceiveda decline in educational quality. These results emphasize the critical need for sustainable, adaptable,and inclusive educational strategies, particularly in regions like the Canary Islands that face uniquechallenges. The implications of the study have broader relevance to digital education. It is essentialto note the need for educators to receive comprehensive training in digital tools and methodologiesto improve the quality of online learning
