The COVID-19 outbreak spreads all over the world. It affects all the sectors in any country. But mostly educational sectors are affected by COVID-19 in many ways. For the purpose of reducing the spread of corona virus, Government takes the action of reducing the social or physical distance. Many other countries reducing face to face learning and physical exams as well. In Pakistan, traditional education system is replaced by online education system. Many online platforms were used for making the interaction between teachers and students. Social media platforms were now being useful for online education (Gonzalez, et al., 2020). Because of this pandemic, it creates disturbance in annual schedules like starting and ending of semesters, or holidays. The universities decided to reduce the face to face teaching for the benefit of the students. There were many tools available to face the distance learning. Using this tool, students started their sessions online. In face to face interaction, teachers were easily convey and deliver their lectures, but in E learning it is still a challenge for university management (Nation, 2020). Because there is no direct supervision of teachers is involved in it. There are some questions raised like how to measure student’s progress properly? How the teachers compare the results of students with previous year progress? What are the tools that could be used to find out any type of cheating during online exams? The main objective of my project is to reduce the uncertainty and enhance the academic performance of students. For the purpose of achieving those goals, we can analyze the student’s learning strategies. The data that we gathered from survey describes the situation that university students faced during pandemic (Gonzalez, et al., 2020).

Project performance is very important for the project managers. This research refer to the telecommunication industry employee’s team wisdom mechanisms and project performance. As the nature of the telecommunication projects is very stressful, the main purpose of our research is to investigate the impact of team wisdom mechanisms and collective efficacy on project performance of the project team members working on different telecommunication projects in Pakistan, mediating role of collective efficacy and moderating role of team temporal leadership. The comprehensive framework of the study provides the better understanding and has addressed the vast spectrum of literature regarding the impact of “team wisdom mechanisms” on project performance with mediation effect of “collective efficacy” and moderation effect of “team temporal leadership”. A survey-based approach using a questionnaire was adopted to achieve the objectives of the study. 400 questionnaires were distributed after visiting the companies and project sites. Due to COVID-19 pandemic a lockdown was imposed and all offices/projects were closed. So, we used the google form and sent emails to project managers and project team members working on telecommunication projects in Pakistan. Our respondents were project managers and project team members working on different telecommunication projects in Pakistan. Analysis have been done by correlation and x regression analysis techniques. Mediation is checked by process of Andrew F. Hayes. Findings show that there is a significant relation between team wisdom mechanisms, collective efficacy and project performance. Collective efficacy partially mediates the relationship between team wisdom mechanisms and project performance of employees working on different telecommunication projects in Pakistan. But, moderating role of team temporal leadership between team wisdom mechanisms and collective efficacy of project team members found to be insignificant. Software SPSS version 25 was used to test the framework. The findings may help the telecommunication sector to implement these positive findings to improve the project performance of the projects. Team wisdom mechanisms are very important to enhance the project performance and collective efficacy of project team. There are some limitations of this study as it is done in only one sector, due to less time we used cross-sectional approach. In future other researchers may explore this model in other sectors. In future a qualitative study m
