to appreciate their class more and focus more during
class. Other than that, it also shows how teachers or lecturers deliver their lectures
successfully in a way that best helps the students to understand.
It is a new thing to be done since all these while, the class was done manually and
students need to go to school or class for them to learn.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, students, teachers, and also lecturers are able to
learn new things and this shows that though the country is facing difficulties, it does
not mean that education cannot continue.
The education system is not the only area that suffers from the lockdown, people
at work are facing the same difficulties, too. Because of RMO, most of the companies
in the country cannot operate normally and they needed to start working from home.
Companies need to adapt to this change as fast as they can because everything has
to be done online. Meetings, for instance, must be done through an online platform.
This could be an advantage to the younger generation, but for the older generation,
this change might be a challenge for them since their generation is not used to the
technology even though the majority of them use smartphones and laptops. That being
said, a lot of the senior employees tend to struggle to work from home because it
requires some of them to learn things from scratch.
Nevertheless, senior employees need to learn new things in order to follow and
keep up with the pace for them to get their work done. During this pandemic, most
people use online platforms such as Webex, Google Meet, and also Zoom for them to
conduct a meeting.
Usually, senior employees will face a problem learning how online meetings are
done as it is the only medium for them to get the information that they need. The
change of working pace due to the spread of this virus made them do things out of
their habits and pushed them to learn new things.
In this digital age, mobile phones, email, and social media are
the new communication tools that help people to communicate
effectively. Online communication tools might look easier but
somehow it does limit the way people work and communicate since
not all things can be done online.
The change can be seen in daily business operations which
have also embraced the online sphere in order for them to continue
with their business. There are many platforms that sellers can use to
market their products and make sure that they are doing well.
This method might be effective for those who live in the city
but for people who live in a rural area, an online business can be
hard for them.
This is because people in rural areas prefers direct selling
methods instead of going online as it is easier and in addition, not
everyone has the resources to have an online business.
Even though it seems ineffective for online businesses to be
done in a rural area, this can be one of the methods for sellers to
market their products to be known by other people and improve
their sales.
In addition, according to Executive Director of Micro
Entrepreneurship Academy Sdn Bhd Abd Azharee Abdul Wahid,
selling items by using an online platform is the most suitable way
to be done during this time.
By going online, sellers can make sure that their item, especially
food can easily reach the buyer within the expected time. In order
to ease the process, there will be a person in charge to send the item
or food to the customer and it is convenient because people do not
need to go out to get the item that they want anymore.
