The COVID-19 pandemic has brought the concept of a "new normal" to our daily lives and fundamentally affects how we live, learn, and work. In these extraordinary times, the quick move from traditional (face-to-face) learning to online learning is viewed as a paradigm change affecting social, economic, and ecological factors. In this vein, the current study investigates the linkages among system quality, instructor quality, campus learning climate, student satisfaction, and online learning success. We have collected questionnaire-based data from 302 students enrolled in different programs and employed the structural equation modelling (SEM) approach. The results indicate that system and instructor quality is vital in accomplishing campus learning climate and student satisfaction. Manifestly, campus learning climate and student satisfaction also significantly affect online learning success, which helps achieve institutional excellence and positive word of mouth. Virtual learning offers many technological advantages and leads to lower resource consumption than physical learning models. Enlightening the quality of education systems and instructors is crucial in producing value in modern societies for institutional superiority.
