Abstract

This study aim is to examine and evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on education systems, which is the implementation of online learning (OL) during Movement Control Order (MCO) to higher learning education institution in Malaysia. A questionnaire was developed, and a random sampling of data was performed. Three hundred and fifty-two samples were collected using the Smart PLS-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique to analyze the results. The study shows that acceptance, usability, satisfaction, and technical skills play a pivotal role in inspiring online learning effectiveness for the institution of higher education. Such consideration allows the entire higher education institution in Malaysia to recognize the importance of online learning in education in a consistent way. All the factors influence the sustained positive efficacy except acceptance of online learning. The present study covers only the institutions of higher learning. Entire elementary and secondary school students also participate in online learning, so this group can also be included for further studies. The research would continue to develop the online learning environment, and the study of higher education organizations is gradually embracing learning as an alternative to conventional classroom learning for current students and as a means to extend its scope to new students. Adopting online learning and its technologies requires significant investment in the staff, resources, energy, and space that administrators and those in educational leadership need to be justifiable. Just a few have explored the effect of COVID-19 on the education system and how online learning are conducted during MCO and using Smart PLS is a novel concept and it is a research of its kind from first hand.

Highlights

  • The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between acceptance, satisfaction, usability, and technical skills with online learning and thirdly to examine the role of interaction in the online learning process

  • The findings of this study show that the students were largely pleased with teaching e-learning systems [3]

Summary

Introduction

Schools and higher education institutions have been challenged by significant shifts in diverse contexts due to the COVID-19 and Malaysia Movement Control Order (MCO). Its practices are distinct from those of the previous generation As such, identifying these differences and designing educational suitable for their learning styles, characteristics, and attitudes are challenges faced by educational practitioners and designers. Students’ expectation and their satisfaction with online learning courses have received significant interest from educational practitioners. Acceptance, satisfaction, accessibility, and online learning technical competencies are the metrics used in this study for the success of online learning and are still to be seen at all levels of students. In previous research, this analysis addresses differences. Different course management systems used for online learning enable synchronous as well as asynchronous communication between students and instructors
