Online learning has been implemented within most education systems around the world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the online learning transition has posed critical challenges for students of all educational levels, inclusive of universities. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of online learning on student engagement among university students in Malaysia. The target respondents for this study are university students in Malaysia. Cluster sampling technique was used in this study; six public and private institutions were chosen based on the Times World University Ranking 2021. Data for this study was collected through the distribution of 389 questionnaires to students from the chosen universities. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the theoretical framework established. The research results demonstrated a positive significant relationship between 2 independent variables (course design and digital literacy) and the dependent variable (student engagement). Two new discoveries were made in this study which will be contributed to future research. The findings of this study would be useful to the management of universities pertaining to improving policies and resources aiming at enhancing student engagement.
