during Pandemic Covid-19.
UBetter with UFuture
- A better Learning Experience with UFuture
3. situation
analysis
Since the pandemic Covid-19 had started, Universiti Teknologi Mara
(UiTM) has changed all classes method to Open and Distance Learning
(ODL) mode started from April 13 until now for all its campuses
nationwide. All academic activities conducted are a blend of
asynchronous (without real-time interaction) and synchronous (real-
time interaction) online learning.
UFuture is a platform for delivering learning content online to UiTM
Students. Its is an improvised version of the iLearn. Lecturers now can
put course materials online for students to access and also create
online activities and discussion, also as a replacement for the physical
classes. The features available in the UFuture seems to be the best
platform for students and lecturers to utilize during ODL.
4. Problem Statement
UFuture have more features that not all of the
students are aware of it. The UFuture has the
ability to access course materials, record
attendance, build communitites or group
discussions, submit assignments, take quizzes or
tests, answer Entrance/Exit Survey and more, all
in one platform, UFuture.
However, the existence and the platform
UFuture does not fully utilised for most of the
courses. This is because, some of the students
might already feel comfortable using other
platforms. But the main reason of it is, most
students does not know how to use the UFuture
as there are no basic guide or tutorial on
exploring the features of UFuture on helping
them throught out the ODL or online classes.
