Description
Summary:The C0VID-19 outbreak has dramatically changed lives throughout the world. In Malaysia, since March 2020, reports of positive cases of C0VID-19 had resulted in the government imposing a movement control order (MC0). All Malaysians are required to stay home to prevent the virus from spreading fast in the com-munity. The MC0 has also changed the way learning activities are conducted in higher learning institutes. The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) had instructed all universities in Malaysia, including Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), to conduct online classes and lectures by using the Open and Distance Learning (ODL) method. ODL is an educational process that allows students to receive an education without physically attend-ing a classroom. Due to the COVID-19 pandem-ic, ODL has now become the norm. Learning activities were thus facilitated by information and communication technologies. Hence, ODL had made the lecturer’s task more challenging in legal education, especially when it involved non-law students.
