Description
Summary:As a result of coronavirus epidemics, many nations confront a dire scenario in terms of the global economy and human social activities, including higher education. Many students throughout the world have been impacted by the education industry's shutdown, which has resulted in face-to-face class postponements. This is quantitative research in which convenience sampling was employed on a significant number of students from Universiti Utara Malaysia (380 respondents) (UUM). In participating in live online learning during the coronavirus outbreak, taking gender differences, differences between undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) students, and differences in student's level IT literacy into account, this study investigated numerous critical parameters associated with technology readiness, learner control, online communication self-efficacy, self-directed learning, and motivation for learning. The independent sample t-test are using in this study. According to the data, there were no statistically significant differences between males and females. The Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was employed in this study to investigate differences in current educational level and degree of IT literacy. This research has implications for educators who employ live online learning in their classes, particularly for the design of lecture settings for students of varied educational levels. More virtual activities and improved student-to-student contact should be considered to increase student engagement.
