COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in early 2020, causing changes in various aspects of human life and their socio-economic activities. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on higher education. Almost all activities must be halted abruptly, forcing universities to change the way they deliver their activities, including teaching and learning. Virtual classrooms and online examinations have replaced physical teaching and learning processes at almost all universities. Since June 2020, academics and students at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) have been embracing innovative teaching and learning techniques, similar to those used in other higher educational institutions in Malaysia and overseas. In this regard, the AbdulHamid AbuSulayman Kulliyyah of Islamic Revealed Knowledge and Human Sciences (AHAS KIRKHS) of IIUM has implemented a number of efforts to guarantee that proper methods are used when conducting remote teaching and learning activities. The endeavour of AHAS KIRKHS in managing remote teaching and learning process amidst and post COVID-19, as well as preparing the learning community for adjustment in the teaching and learning practices, will be discussed in this presentation. The issues, interventions and activities related to remote teaching and learning including assessment will also be discussed.
