The COVID-19 has caused school closures worldwide, and education has changed dramatically. The demand for online learning has risen significantly, and it will continue to do so in the future. Currently, teaching is done remotely and on digital platforms. Online learning necessitates that teachers have a basic understanding of using digital forms of learning. However, this is not always the case. Untrained educators usually use online learning to share notes rather than implement interactive learning that promotes active learning in the virtual classroom. Therefore, students tend to lose interest in learning through online platforms. Therefore, this innovation was designed to be an interactive and collaborative e-learning platform that would engage both students and lecturers. Padlet and Edmodo were used in this study. These education technologies provide cloud-based software as a service, hosting a real-time collaborative web platform. Students can easily click on any links provided in the AGR042 Smart ClassKit on Padlet to view the learning materials and activities, even if it has been a few months’ post on Edmodo. Moreover, AGR042 Smart ClassKit is protected with a password. Only the students with a registered Edmodo account can access this platform to ensure they are in a secure online learning environment. This innovation has facilitated the online learning process by focusing on interactive and collaborative learning in a safe online environment, thus attracting students' interest.
