Unfortunately, disease attack is a problem that emerges from shrimp aquaculture to gain high profit. Among the common disease that usually infects L. Vannamei are white spot disease (WSD) and Fusarium bacteria which causes black gill disease. This problem arises from farmers' lack of knowledge about shrimp disease, low management attitude and poor aquaculture management practices. Therefore, this research objective is to investigate a farmer's level of knowledge, attitude, and practices on the Litopenaeus Vannamei shrimp disease. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method (questionnaire survey) using a google form and the questionnaire was distributed online. The respondents were chosen from the L. Vannamei farmers (50 respondents) in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. The survey was open for one month between 15th November and 15th December 2021. The data was analysed using IBM SPPS software version 24.0 to obtain the frequency, percentage and descriptive analysis to analyse the level of knowledge, attitude and practices of L. Vannamei farmers on the shrimp disease in pond culture. This study showed that the level of knowledge, attitude, and practices of L. Vannamei farmers on the shrimp disease in pond culture is high, as can be seen by the good attitude in L. Vannamei management and having good aquaculture management practices.

The face-to-face learning and teaching session are replaced by online learning and teaching session. Online learning was being implemented to deliver a seamless teaching and learning process so that the academic session can continue with the new norm through MCO and social distancing. There are barriers to conducting the practical class or hands-on practice for aquaponic topics due to the teaching and learning online classes. Therefore, this condition may affect the knowledge and understanding or performance of the student on aquaponic topics that require hands-on teaching and learning. Moreover, students at home who do not have the necessary equipment and tools for the practical session are among the challenges of doing practical sessions. Some materials, such as Rockwool and net pot, must be purchased as a set, but students may only require a portion of them, making the purchase burdensome to complete on their own aquaponic. To overcome the problem, the teaching aids \"Aquaponic Mini Models was developed. The purpose of this study was to identify the expert perspective on the development and usability of teaching aids \"Aquaponic Mini Models\" for aquaculture course. The teaching aids “Aquaponic Mini Models” was created using the ADDIE model through five phases: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method (questionnaire survey). In this study, a set of questionnaires was used to elicit data from the experts. Nine experts from the Faculty Technical and Vocational were chosen for their experience developing learning aid kits and teaching pedagogy. All data obtained were analyzed using computer software Statistical Package for Social Science SPSS version 24' to obtain the frequency, percentage, and mean through descriptive analysis.
