| description | An investigation and assessment of virtual learning in engineering mathematics during the COVID-19 pandemic were explored in this study. The result showed that the media platform was an especially useful technology for students to create, share, learn, and interact with others. YouTube, a free media-sharing website, has proved to be an effective educational tool to add a new dimension to education in increasing student engagement, motivation, understanding, and achievement. Thus, students’ learning models on the OpenCourseWare YouTube channel were researched to investigate how virtual activities in e-learning of engineering mathematics during coronavirus confinement were implemented and describe how YouTube was used for teaching engineering mathematics by engaging students in mathematical problem-solving. |
