Remote teaching and learning during COVID-19 “lockdown” period in Malaysia: one institution’s experience

Abstract

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has prompted significant changes for most programs' teaching methods worldwide, especially during the “lockdown” period. Most education institutions in Malaysia were indefinitely closed, with the teaching and learning activities were resumed remotely. This letter highlights Kulliyyah of Dentistry, International Islamic University Malaysia’s approaches in handling our teaching and learning activities (i.e., lectures, tutorials, seminars, practical, and the assessment), as well as the challenges faced by lecturers and students during the previous “lockdown” period.
