Abstract
A design school's core curriculum includes a physical design studio class in all design disciplines. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a switch from physical to online education. Students and instructors had no prior experience with online courses when the shift occurred in February 2020. There have been concerns raised about the quality of online education. Students' evaluations of online design studios were used as a basis for assessing their efficiency, and then factors affecting their satisfaction were examined. An online survey was filled out by 228 students in four academic institutions in the kingdom of Bahrain via Google Forms for different interior and architectural schools using MS Teams and Zoom platforms in the academic year 2021/2022. There were significant influences on respondents' satisfaction with the online design studio course by online learning systems, classroom presence, stability of the online learning system, feedback from studio instructors, demonstrations, and course content designed for online delivery. Based on the findings, developing a replacement design studio model that enhances learning and supports design practice is recommended.
