COVID-19 Academic Challenges / Noor Shahariah Saleh

When the COVID-19 outbreak struck in early March 2020, the Malaysian government took a risky move to close all sectors. The higher education institution was nonexceptional. Educators were instructed to switch to fully online distance learning (ODL). There were various responses to this decision but most educators rooted in one idea that the knowledge impartment must sustain. The educational system was on the verge of starting over the traditional approach but compelled back to online teaching and learning. This prolonged online distance learning costs educators and students to struggle to adapt to the education mode, assessments, and emotions.
