experiences of students, and joint research from both universities. Other

environment in Malaysia today and its impact in the wake of the COVID-19

were keen on exploring virtual education, especially through cyber
classrooms. The two parties expressed their shared interest in identifying
new teaching methods that go beyond physical locations to make education
