The sudden shift from the brick-and-mortar approach to online distance learning due to the coronavirus pandemic greatly impacted everyone involved, particularly students. Hence, it is critical to identify the perception of students regarding the challenges they faced, their satisfaction with remote learning, as well as their preferences and recommendations for improvement which are the objectives of this research. A survey taken by 408 diploma students with 377 valid answers for the quantitative study showed that the most common difficulties they encountered were in terms of interaction, concentration and motivation. The mean of the perceived challenges was found to be significantly different depending on the respondents' prior e-learning experience and area of residence. With regard to the relevant activities to be conducted virtually, most participants approved of assessments such as quiz, assignments and tests. Animation and gamification received the highest votes as the elements that students wished were incorporated to boost their online learning engagement. The findings from this research contribute to existing studies on the perceptions and preference of students towards distance education by shedding light on the perspective of diploma students.

Blended teaching strategy becomes an integral part of the 21st-century education system to meet the industry 4.0 needs. As not only the online system can create the best system from the points of view of effectiveness and expending cost, but also the traditional teaching style cannot meet the higher level of industry needs. Therefore, the combination of the advancement of technology and the effective design of teaching theory appears in different blended systems to promote education level. This system also proposes a new model to initiate the teaching style that can supplement the requirements of this education era based on FLIP learning terms. The system is built by blending the online and face-to-face strategies using communication technology and multimedia components at pre-class, online test, and in-class times based on stakeholders' satisfaction with the system. The outcome intends to build an effective education system that facilitates the developing country, the Myanmar situation. Moreover, the research methodology goal includes improving the problem-solving ability and performance results of the university students and to increase the self-reflection of all participants.
