Its continuity amid the pandemic made possible the implementation of synchronous e-learning (S-EL) even if universities across the globe had insufficient preparation.  Given this scenario, it is then the purpose of this study to provide an objective evaluation of S-EL implementation. The factors affecting learning effectiveness were revealed and the factors that students would like their institutions to consider were likewise taken into account. It is recommended that these factors be considered prior to implementation of S-EL.
