Abstract

This paper focused on the effectiveness of A Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) among mechanical engineering students at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Pasir Gudang Campus after COVID-19. MOOC is a model for delivering online learning content to anyone enrolled in a course, with no limit on attendance. The effectiveness of online learning platforms depends on various factors, such as the platform's design, the quality of instructional materials, and the level of student engagement. Thus, subject MEC291 (Mechanics and Material Lab) is offered to semester 3 students in the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. MOOC MEC291 consists of videos of theories, experimental procedures, experimental simulation, discussion, and student feedback. This survey was distributed to all 212 students registered for the Mechanics and Materials Lab course. The results indicated that MOOC platforms had effectively helped the students understand their laboratory work and enhanced their learning ability even in online platforms during and after the pandemic. The findings of this paper can inform policymakers, educators, and students about the potential of online learning platforms in Malaysia and help them address the challenges associated with this mode of education.
