The open and distance learning which system or better known as ODL is one of the delivery mediums in teaching and learning (PdP) is gaining attention in higher education institutions during the Covid -19 pandemic season. The shift from face -to -face learning to virtual learning has created new norms in terms of approaches and challenges to lecturers and students. Communication network systems and learning applications are often constrained in the process of meeting the learning outcomes of university courses. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the background of Diploma in Halal Management students, UiTM Negeri Sembilan Branch who are involved in the ODL process in addition to analyzing communication networks and applications of ODL learning methods used by students. A quantitative approach was selected in this study through the distribution of questionnaires to 122 respondents’ and data were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23 software. Elements of respondents’ background, communication network and application of ODL method were the main indicators in this study. The results of the study found that the majority of respondents live in rural areas and the level of communication network access during the ODL as a whole is at a moderate level. Nevertheless, access to the application of various ODL methods in teaching and learning (PdP) is still accessible with a high speed level mean score value among the majority of respondents. In conclusion, the government, Institutions of Higher Learning and the communications network industry should each play a role in creating broader and diverse initiatives to help students adapt to the new norms of PdP medium by ODL during the Covid-19 pandemic season.
Sistem pembelajaran secara terbuka dan jarak jauh atau lebih dikenali sebagai ODL merupakan salah satu medium penyampaian dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) yang semakin mendapat perhatian di institusi pendidikan tinggi semasa musim pandemik Covid–19. Perubahan pembelajaran secara bersemuka kepada pembelajaran alam maya telah mewujudkan norma baharu dari sudut pendekatan dan cabaran kepada pensyarah dan mahasiswa. Sistem rangkaian komunikasi dan aplikasi pembelajaran seringkali menjadi kekangan dalam proses memenuhi hasil pembelajaran kursus di universiti. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti latar belakang mahasiswa Diploma Pengurusan Halal, UiTM Cawangan Negeri Sembilan yang terlibat dalam proses ODL disamping menganalisa rangkaian komunikasi serta aplikasi kaedah pembelajaran ODL yang digunakan oleh mahasiswa. Pendekatan kuantitatif telah dipilih dalam kajian ini melalui edaran borang soal selidik kepada 122 responden dan data dianalisa secara deskriptif menggunakan perisian IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. Elemen latar belakang responden, rangkaian komunikasi dan aplikasi kaedah ODL menjadi indikator utama dalam kajian ini. Hasil kajian mendapati majoriti responden tinggal di luar bandar dan tahap capaian rangkaian komunikasi semasa ODL secara keseluruhan berada pada tahap sederhana. Sungguhpun begitu, capaian aplikasi kaedah ODL yang pelbagai dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran (PdP) masih boleh diakses dengan nilai skor min tahap kelajuan yang tinggi dalam kalangan majoriti responden. Kesimpulannya, pihak kerajaan, Institusi Pengajian Tinggi dan industri rangkaian komunikasi masing-masing perlu berperanan mewujudkan inisiatif yang lebih luas dan pelbagai bagi membantu mahasiswa menyesuaikan diri dengan norma baharu medium PdP secara ODL pada musim pandemik Covid-19.
