摘要：The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the educational landscape of Malaysia. The government's drastic action to implement the Movement Control Order (MCO) has forced all institutions of higher learning (IsHL) and schools to temporarily shut down. Learning activities had to continue, so online classes have been set up. Academicians and students have to adapt to the new learning environment. In Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Online Distance Learning (ODL) was implemented. The drastic change has become a challenge specifically to students. After three months of implementing online learning, students gave positive and negative feedback on their new norms of learning. Hence, this study was conducted to investigate the difference between students’ satisfaction and intention to the continuation of ODL based on gender perspective. Besides, this study also aims to assess the challenges faced by students in ODL. A survey was conducted, and SPSS 26.0 was used to analyze the data. The result found that there is no significant difference in satisfaction, and intention to continue usage of ODL among male and female students. This study also revealed that slow internet coverage was the biggest challenge among students in ODL. The finding of this study is expected to contribute to the academicians, policymakers and IsHL to take into account the problems faced by students when implementing the new method of teaching and learning.
