such as videos, PDFs, podcasts and teachers can use these tools as part of their
lesson plan. Nash and Dawan (2020) stated that there has been a lot of advances in
educational technology in the last few decades and the same proved to be immensely
useful during this pandemic. Several online platforms to support online education were
available. According to Peters et.al (2020) professors and students faced a wide range

The study of Dacela et.al (2020) states that at the time of quarantines and viral
outbreaks, it would seem that online learning is the only viable way to continue learning
emphasized that online learning is just one mode of distance education. Distance
education is broadly characterized as any form of learning experience where the learner
and the instructor are physically separated from each other (not only by place but also
by time). Arguably, such a dislocation is “the perfect context for free-flowing thought that
lets us move beyond the restricted confines of a familiar social order”. Moreover, this

students, especially students with fewer resources at home, learn less when they are
not in school. Right now, virtual courses are allowing students to access lessons and

epidemic had closed schools even a decade or two earlier. So, we may be skeptical of

The study of Lumasag et.al (2013) states that learning can be extended from the
traditional face-to-face encounter in the classroom towards the virtual environment. The
use of the internet as a means for extending education and learning established new

experiences using Moodle and other web-based learning technologies. Enriching face-
to-face learning with supplemental web programs gained an advantage towards
accomplishing students’ activities utilizing the resources of the World Wide Web. 6
According to Dow et.al (2008) several studies have hinted that the use of online or
among others. In particular, the account management component has features that can
effectively extend the respondents’ account to their personal contacts and networks,
thus giving them the chance to send and receive messages. In addition, the feature of
allowing the students to send and receive private messages to/from other account
owners is found effective. The feature allows the students to freely exchange messages
with their classmates which is similar to a private chat room that they usually use in
some social networking sites. The acceptance and use of the technology may influence
and improve the learning process and learning outcome of the students.
