Description
Summary:COVID19 has transformed the worldwide education norms of teaching and learning. The customary face-to-face method is currently being substitute with online webinars such as Webex and its counterparts. A survey has been conducted to investigate the experience of online learning among postgraduate in Malaysia.. The survey is divided into two categories of issues related to online teaching and learning and time spent on activities during the Movement Control Order (MCO). Thematic analysis is employed to analyse the data pattern. Three main themes on online learning experience had emerged, namely IT facilities, learning engagement and personal adjustment. This survey also investigates the type of activities pursued during the Movement Control Order (MCO) and found that all the participants spent their time to complete assignments as well as highly video streaming especially from the youtube channel. Though online teaching and learning received a positive response, most students still prefer the face-to-face method compare to fully adopting the online method of teaching and learning.
