In March 2020, the world was first hit by Covid-19 that started to have negative impact on all sectors including education. Most of the higher learning institutions had a shift to use the technology in imparting knowledge and conducting online learning for students. This paper analyzed the effect of attitude, interruption, personal skills and technology skills towards effective online learning. A total of 375 valid questionnaire responses was coded and analyzed using PLS-SEM analysis. The findings showed the attitude and technology skills were significant factors to the barriers of effective online learning among students.

Abstract. Calculus is one of the main courses for the students of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) at tertiary level. Thus, all students who are currently taking this course need to get at least grade C for them to pass the examination. Many educators used to apply tools in their teaching method to make the students understand clearly on the topics given in their syllabus. However, it is very seldom that the effectiveness of the tools being examined. In this paper, the effectiveness of integrating CCMPedia in teaching and learning Calculus 1 is discussed. CCMPedia is an encyclopedia for common calculus mistakes, which was designed by some educators from Universiti Teknologi MARA, Johor branch, Malaysia (UiTMJ). By using experimental method, four classes were divided into control group and experimental group. The questions were designed according to pre-knowledge, basic knowledge and Calculus 1. Data was collected from 88 students and the result was analyzed by mixed design analysis to access the effect of time factors between pre-test and post-test and the group effects between control and experimental groups. CCMPedia is found to be one of the good mechanisms to assist students in learning process, particularly in basic knowledge and Calculus 1.

Learning environment possesses an important educational role in effective learning. The importance of the learning environment is to determine about the elements that could encourage students' intense towards their studies and could impact on students' academic achievement. Online learning is a type of delivery approach used in distance education that allows the synchronous and asynchronous exchange of resources over a communication network. Nowadays, teaching is more about assisting students in actively creating their own knowledge by giving those assignments that help this process instead of just delivering knowledge. Choosing the suitable teaching methods which congruent with specific learner needs and desired educational outcomes is critical to effective teaching. The most important factor in choosing teaching methods is to consider whether that method will help the students meeting the intended learning outcomes. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the four types of learning environments introduced by Bransford, Brown, and Cocking for online learning, including learner-centred, community-centred, assessment-centred and knowledge-centred for the purpose of facilitating effective learning among diploma level students. The study adopted a quantitative method survey utilizing Google Forms, involving 150 respondents purposely chosen from a major public university in Malaysia. The questionnaire instrument was adopted from a previous study conducted by Hassan, Majid & Hassan. There are four sections with related questions to measure the four types of learning environments under this study. Thus, the impact of this paper is that the researcher will achieve an effective learning by implementing the four types of learning environment. The result also revealed that students obtain an ideal learning environment at a public university in Malaysia.

The occurrence of Covid-19 has caused the existing school learning system to move to online teaching and learning methods. They are carried out to safeguard the continuity of school learning sessions, attempting to avert dropouts. This paper analyzes the relationships between organizational factors, perceived usefulness, Personal innovativeness, and peers with technology adoption among teachers in rural schools in Segamat District. A total of 117 teachers were involved in this study. The results showed that perceived usefulness, Personal innovativeness, and peers influenced technology adoption among teachers from rural schools.

Today’s conventional teaching and learning methods have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Online forms are replacing traditional education approaches. Along with the era of advanced technology, many universities are taking this opportunity to develop e-learning platforms to be used by both students and educators. This paper analyses the relationships between student behaviour, technological systems, interactive applications, institutional factors, and instructor characteristics to accept electronic learning among distance learners. A total of 479 valid questionnaires were analyzed. The result indicates that student behaviour, interactive applications, and instructor characteristics are the determinants of electronic learning.
