The study helps both the students and teachers to know the impact of online education on students' learning. 300 students from Virtual University of twin cities of Pakistan were selected as a targeted population and 90 students selected as a sample size by using the simple random technique. The close-ended questionnaire was used for data collection. The link of online education with computer literacy, creativity among students, motivation of students towards learning, and performance of students was evaluated by the manual method.
