description In 2009, Kocaeli University entered the process of educational reconstruction. Since 2012, all students have been able to choose two seperate courses under the name of university electronic elective course E-course within the scope of these changes if they want. These courses are Disasters and Mitigation and Disaster Management courses. In these courses, it is tried to increase disaster awareness in as many students as possible and to ensure that they learn, think about and discuss both what they can do individually and the social contribution they can offer in this regard. The students assess these learning outcomes at the end of the term. In this study, to what extent the 3,302 students, who had taken these courses in the past three years, thought they had achieved the e-learning outcomes of these courses and the relationship between the academic achievement they showed in the courses and the achievement of the learning outcomes have been examined. The results of the study show that the e-learning outcomes of these courses have been achieved “above the expected level”. No relationship has been found between the academic achievement and the achievement level of the learning outcomes for the Disaster and Mitigation course. This result shows that as the content of this course is for individual achievements, these achievements are believed to be more effective and important than the academic achievement by the students.
