Physical, Online, or Hybrid? A Study on the Preferred Mode of Learning of Multimedia University (MMU) Students

Higher institutions in Malaysia, including Multimedia University (MMU), has adopted online and hybrid learning mode for its students during the Covid 19 pandemic and post pandemic. At present, this practice is still on going, apart from the physical learning mode norm. This sparks an interest in determining the preferred mode of learning of MMU students and is the basis for this study. A total of 363 respondents from different faculties across both Melaka and Cyberjaya Campus partake in this study. Several tests were conducted on the data collected, including Cronbach Alpha, Pearson Correlation, and multiple linear regression (MLR). Results indicated the survey instrument used was reliable across all variables. Weak relationships were found among all predictors to the three preferred learning modes. Albeit this, the MLR tests were conducted. In conclusion, upon comparing the results, it was determined that the preferred learning mode of MMU students is the online mode.
