Regardless of the current challenges, it is critical to reflect on the impacts of COVID-19 on students' learning performance using the framework of contributing factors. This study uses the SWOT approach to analyze the issues at UTMSP ACE and several situations were found that related to its current conditions. The objectives of the study were to elaborate further on the impacts of contributing factors towards student's academic performance in online learning at UTMSP ACE. The identified factors for this study based on provided data by UTMSPACE are Age, Gender, Nationality, Location, Internet Access and Internet Quality Bandwidth. This study analyzes using quantitative data from student survey conducted by UTMSP ACE including academic records across all programmed and showing the trends of academic results of students during online learning. The results of this case study show that student's age to be significantly related to the student's academic performance during online learning while other factors such as student's gender, nationality, location, internet access and internet quality bandwidth does not show any effect instead. The study further explores possible explanations for the results of the analysis, considering organizational, its implementation in online learning and student academic performance related aspects. 2021-08 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/55093/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/55093/1/55093.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi Mara Cawangan Johor Arshad Ayub Graduate Business School
