Like many sectors affected by the Coronavirus (Covid - 19) pandemic, the higher education sector was disrupted globally and needed immediate re-adjustments to provide distance learning solutions. Educational management contingency plans were initiated in many parts of the world to reach out to students isolated due to the pandemic; however, it quickly became clear that one size (or plan) did not fit all, especially with regards to students with online learning constraints. This qualitative research explores the online learning experiences of students during the pandemic in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study employed an online survey to investigate Bahraini students' perceptions of online learning as a new initiative during the pandemic. The findings of this survey suggest that the digital divide, digital inequities, and differences in e-learning opportunities have been experienced by students through the implementation of online learning. The study also revealed different perceptions of the educational technologies available to students.
