“…However, in more recent studies, it was found that with the fact that in ODL students and instructors geographically dispersed, ODL instructors/practitioners have to deal with numerous challenges. Those challenges such as the ability to offer prompt and effective feedback, regular contact, and should be able to fully utilize the latest trend in technology as a tool for distance education (Cant, Wiid, & Machado, 2011). They also found that there are four top characteristics of ODL practitioners or instructor, namely having 1) good subject knowledge; 2) fair and ethical; 3) good writing skills; and 4) ability to guide students.…”

Open Distance Learning (ODL) is an approach in education practices in Open University Malaysia (OUM). One of its programs that are offered through ODL is the Bachelor of Psychology (BPSY) and it is one of the programs with the highest student intake in OUM. Since the program has been commencing for more than 10 years, it is the time to evaluate whether the program needs any revisions or improvements. Thus, the aim of the study is to determine the level of satisfaction of students on the Psychology program offered in OUM. A questionnaire was developed for this purpose which includes 4 areas of students' satisfaction, namely the learning materials, student perceptions on their tutors, assessment matters, as well as the overall program structure. The questionnaires were distributed to more than 1000 active students through online and face-to-face tutorials. A total of 439 students participated in the study. The results indicated that students are most satisfied with the overall program structure and least satisfied with the assessment matters with the mean score of 3.98 and 3.59 respectively. The study certainly benefits the university in taking action to revise and improve the program. Recommendation for future research is included at the end of the paper.

“…In a 2016 study, [16] found that the interventions of attitudes of learning strategies, learning style, personality, motivation, social interaction and self-management contribute to the student's success. Some theories emphasize that learning strategies, personality and motivation factors significantly influence the level of success that individuals achieve in higher education [17], [18], [19], [20]. Other researchers have also pointed out that basic knowledge and soft skills significantly contribute towards students' learning outcomes, especially when the main purpose of learning is to learn new skills and knowledge [17], [21].…”

“…In response to that, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has moved all classes to ODL effective 13 April 2020. ODL offers greater openness and flexibility where teaching is conducted by someone who is geographically separated (Cant, Wiid, & Machado, 2013) and away from the learner (Ghosh et al, 2012). It can be conducted by utilizing electronic devices such as laptops and mobile phones through online platforms such as Google classroom, Massive Open and Online Course (MOOC), and UFuture.…”

The higher education system is one of the sectors that has been affected by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In response to that, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has moved all classes to open and distance learning (ODL) effective 13 April 2020. ODL has greatly assisted the process of teaching and learning during the pandemic, but the sudden adoption from face-to-face learning to ODL can lead to stress among university students. Thus, this study aimed to identify the level of stress perceived by UiTM students during ODL and explore the influence of socio-demographic characteristics on the level of perceived stress among UiTM students during ODL. A cross-sectional survey design was used which was constructed of three main parts; demographic characteristics, Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) developed by Cohen, Kamarck, and Mermelstein (1983), and a qualitative exploratory question. The finding concluded that in general, UiTM students showed moderate stress during ODL. The factors that contributed to this are a poor internet connection, academic workload, high academic workload, deadline of assignment, internet connection, learning environment, and family problems.
