The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our educational life as online classes emerged as a way to adapt for educational institutions in the new normal. This has helped in continuing to cater to the educational needs of the students to prevent the spread of the virus. Several intuitions have implemented ways on how online learning can be accessible and convenient for students. Though this has been beneficial, the concern of professors in determining what is the best factor in the experience of students with their learning capacities given the situation. With more than a year in online classes, students have voiced concerns about today’s learning platforms as it affects several factors and challenges in the magnitude of their learning.  This research aims to compare the absorption of knowledge of students between face-to-face learning and online learning, in order to identify what factor results with the highest absorption of knowledge. From that, the best strategy to be used by professors can be obtained. By conducting a survey, the researchers used the obtained data from the students of Mapua University, to be able to perform various calculations, statistical and decision analyses. As a result, the factor of Interaction/Communication yielded the highest among other factors, which indicates that it should be considered by professors when conducting face-to-face learning and online learning, in order for the students to meet the maximum level of absorption of knowledge. As a conclusion, this also implies that the students were able to perform academically well whenever an interaction with their peers and classmates took place. Given this, it can also conclude that it is best for professors to provide interactive activities to their students to be able to obtain a high learning absorption.
