Abstract
This study aims to develop instrument to facilitate undergraduates in online learning by investigating their perceptions towards the use of it. A quantitative approach has been undertaken which include review of past literature review and integration of models related to assess students’ perception towards online learning during the pandemic. The students’ perceptions are assessed based on readability and satisfaction in terms of motivation, technology access, opinion, self-directed learning and online teaching approach. The instrument was validated by two experts and their rating were calculated using Cohen Kappa value to examine the level of agreement. Cronbach Alpha reliability index was also computed to investigate the reliability level of the instrument. The finding shows that the instrument had substantial agreement among raters and strong internal consistency.
