Despite the general trend of women being discouraged from learning computer science, recent years have indicated a growing interest for women in the IT field, as indicated by the fact that more women than men are involved in "doing an online course". The current pandemic would also necessitate a need to be technologically informed. The fact that women indicate interest in the IT field because of the possibilities of communicating with others and accessing information available online suggests that it is possible that more women will continue to join the computer science field. This study was done in part to investigate the gender gap in the IT field to see how male and female students approach their studies in this field, especially during the pandemic.
