Basically, the study is limited to three main variables that are independent variable which represent by online learning (learning platform, interaction, and technology); mediating variable which represent by student commitment (learning environment, time allocation, and peer relationship); and dependent variable of academic performance (CGPA and practical skill). Practical implications: It was determined that the findings of the study prove the impact of online learning on academic achievement as mediated by student commitment were important. As a result, online learning has a favourable effect on students' dedication and academic achievement. The findings might be significant to other institutions and at different level of education as well, hence, other variables could be explored.
