Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused many education organizations to make full use of various online communication platform technologies to continue teaching. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the usefulness of an e-learning platform for teaching and learning activities. It focusses on the trends of social media usage as well as the student’s attitudes toward knowledge sharing. Survey research was conducted to examine the undergraduate music students on their music instruments learning during the lockdown period. The sample of the study consists of 70 music undergraduates of University Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia. Data were collected via online questionnaires using Google Forms. The music instruments teaching and learning activities during the lockdown period will be analyzed in the form of statistical analysis. Based on the analysis, majority of the music undergraduates gained less knowledge from online learning. Besides, this study found that their experience accompanies them as part of their studies. Network connectivity, especially in the rural areas has become a major issue for their online learning. Finally, online teaching has both strengths and weaknesses.
