Malaysia’s Ministry of Higher Education announced in early March 2020 that all universities’ teaching and learning (TL) processes must be conducted entirely online until the end of the year to prevent Covid-19 from spreading. This change has drastically altered the way teachers teach and students learn, and as a result, the impact on both lecturers and students has been enormous. This study aimed to compare students’ performance in the Introduction to Entrepreneurship (ENT300) subject at UiTM Cawangan Terengganu when using an online learning approach as against a traditional face-to-face approach. Many scholars agreed that the face-to-face approach is more effective and gives students more fulfilment than the online method because students prefer to see and hold paper-based reading material and the satisfaction derived from experiencing the lessons live. This descriptive study data was taken from two different learning approaches, face to face and online distance learning (ODL) classes, and the results showed that students’ performance is better when lessons are conducted face to face, proving that the difference in teaching and learning approach has an effect on the students’ grades.

Within many educational institutions across the world, the delivery of undergraduate and postgraduate courses is being facilitated by online learning technologies. The development and transformation of academic courses for online learning delivery provides a number of opportunities for both the academic institution and prospective students. However, there are a number of important issues that need to be addressed if online learning is to contribute to the educational experience of the student in a positive way and actually enhance teaching and learning as compared with more traditional face-to-face delivery. This paper describes the process of transforming a Masters course in the Management of eBusiness offered by the University of Paisley from a distance learning to an online distance learning course. The paper will identify the main educational theories that informed and influenced the development of the online course as well as identify the main lessons learnt from evaluating the course which has now been running for a number of years. The lessons learnt will be of interest to many people involved in the development and running of online learning courses.

<span>In this paper, we share two blended learning approaches used at the National Institute of Education in Singapore. We have been using these two approaches in the last twelve years in many courses ranging from the diploma to graduate programs. For the first blended learning approach, we integrated one asynchronous communication tool with face to face tutorials, classroom discussions, and a reflection session. For the second blended learning approach, we integrated two asynchronous tools with face to face tutorials in a course. We discuss the theoretical foundation of the two blended learning approaches. In addition, we share insights from these two blended learning approaches, based on the students' data (online postings, questionnaires, reflection logs, and interviews), as well as our own reflections. Finally, we describe and discuss several important lessons learned that could inform the design of future instructional strategies in implementing blended learning in university teaching and learning settings.</span>

Blended learning provides an opportunity to rethink the ways in which instructors and learners use face-to-face and online distance learning modalities. Sometimes, this opportunity is missed and the resulting blended course is no more than a mechanical mix that serves pragmatic purposes but fails to reshape learning. This chapter rethinks the structure and dynamics of blended learning experiences and considers what it might mean to use different teaching/learning modalities. It explores the possibilities, challenges, and design of blended learning from a perspective of variation theory. It also reviews strategies to make explicit the differences in structure and dynamics of face-to-face and online distance environments that are encountered by the learner and suggests the benefits and limitations of such strategies.

Mastery learning approaches were designed to improve student learning and elevate the level of understanding across a broader swath of students. These approaches operate under the belief that all students are capable of learning if given enough time. Little research has examined the utility or applicability of a mastery learning approach for social sciences outside of research methods courses. This study provides a review of the relevant literature on mastery learning, a discussion of the applicability of this approach to the teaching and learning of social sciences, and a review of the process and results of the conversion of more traditionally organized and taught courses to a mastery learning approach. Overall, our evaluation provides evidence that a mastery learning approach can make a significant impact on student learning.

<p class="06IsiAbstrak">The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has penetrated all people globally, including the Indonesian people who feel that the teaching and learning culture must follow health protocols. Still, the learning process must continue even though it is limited. This study aims to determine curriculum adaptation during the Covid-19 pandemic, teacher strategies, and its impact on MI Salafiyah Tajungsari and SDN Sitiluhur 02. This type of research used qualitative field studies with data sources for school principals, curriculum development teams, and teachers. Methods of data collection using observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, concluding, and verification. The technique of testing the validity of the data used triangulation of sources and methods. The research findings showed that MI Salafiyah Tajungsari uses an emergency curriculum with essential materials, while SDN Sitiluhur 02 uses a curriculum that simplifies critical competencies. The learning strategies used by teachers include online and offline. The difference lies offline. Offline at MI Salafiyah Tajungsari held limited face-to-face meetings, while offline at SDN Sitiluhur 02, students carried out the tasks assigned by the teacher and submitted their work to school. The impact of the adaptation curriculum has made the competency target of the school not maximally achieved.</p>

Abstract: Due to the quick spread of the COVID-19 disease, education institutions across the world had to be closed, and there was an overnight shift to online distance teaching and learning. Majority of the teachers in Pakistan are used to the traditional way of face-to-face teaching and online teaching came as a challenge. Like most of the countries, Pakistan too was not prepared for the sudden shift from face-to-face to online distance learning. Although COVID-19 impacts almost everyone in society, students with disabilities, both physical and mental, are one of the most vulnerable groups due to the restrictions in their activities. Furthermore, studying online devoid of the human touch has induced mental stress among these students. Hence this study focused on the online teaching and learning processes in Pakistan, its challenges and modern pedagogies for emergency situations particularly mental health for students with and without learning disabilities, teachers. The study includes some suggestions for the target group to cope with the sudden catastrophe of COVID-19.   Keywords: COVID-19, Learning Disability, Mental-health, Modern Pedagogies, Online Learning.

The Indonesian government is currently facing a Covid-19 pandemic that is still beyond its control. From print media to electronic media, the mass media continues to report on the number of victims infected with this virus, and the number is declining. One of the predictive steps to prevent the spread of this virus is to maintain social distancing. As a formal educational institution, the school responded quickly to this situation. The school does not hope that by changing the face-to-face learning mode, the virus will spread in its environment. I.e. through distance learning or online learning (online). Therefore, this is the task of the teacher, that is, to be able to create various activities in online learning that can attract students' interest in learning. Especially learning English requires not only theory, but also a lot of practice. Therefore, interactive learning in the form of activities is required to allow students to actively participate in the online learning process. This research aims to obtain important information about the effectiveness of online distance learning (PJJ) for primary schools in Kediri City. The research methods used descriptive qualitative methods to 20 respondents. According to the analysis data, the research results show that online distance learning for elementary schools is considered to be quite effective.
