During the Coronavirus COVID19 crisis, most of the affected countries forced the stay-home policy, which causes workers from many sectors to continue their work from home. Schools, colleges, and universities are conducting teaching activities through the internet. The online education used for many years to support the regular education. However, in this crisis, educational institutions are switched into 100% online teaching. There are many challenges associated with this transition, which makes us rethink about prioritizing education spending and put online education upfront. Also, it is time to rewrite the risk policies and consider biological threats as one of the possible risks that obstruct regular education. In this study, we highlighted the experience of a mid-size college in Saudi Arabia with this circumstance. We evaluated this experience from its beginning to the end of the semester. We summarized many lessons learned from this experience how to mitigate the effect associated with the crisis.
