Challenges and Opportunities of Online Learning Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic in Brunei Darussalam

Abstract

Educational institutions in Brunei have transitioned into an online mode of learning due to the pandemic of COVID-19 that challenged the education system, forcing educators to change their method of teaching. The aim of this research is to investigate the challenges and opportunities risen from online learning during the pandemic. Brunei is one of the few countries that did not enforce lockdown measures but enforced strict measures to contain the pandemic. The pandemic has greatly affected the government, businesses, and the educational institutes of the nation. Challenges include digital transformation and educational operability while opportunities emphasize on technological innovations and reassessing the education system.
