As the program coordinator, we struggled with internet access, technology and digital learning capabilities to ensure the program could run as smooth as possible during the early stage. Not forgetting the students, they also face challenges too. They have to encounter distraction, staying motivated and most of all is technical issues with the network.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asd-1-e1636535409152.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1257\" height=\"782\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asd-1-e1636535409152-1257x720.jpg 1257w, https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asd-1-e1636535409152-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asd-1-e1636535409152-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1257px) 1257px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Now, a year has passed and we are adaptable to the changes from physical to webinar. We are now capable to run the program effectively. Students could attend the programs from any location of their choice. The programs are recorded, archived, and shared for future reference plus this allows students to access the program modules at any time of their comfort. Since we implement user education program via webinar, the number of participation increase significantly up to 53% from 2019 to 2020.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10637 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asdf-e1636535043358.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1251\" height=\"774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asdf-e1636535043358-1251x720.jpg 1251w, https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asdf-e1636535043358-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/asdf-e1636535043358-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1251px) 1251px, 100vw\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10639 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/ss-e1636535100122.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1257\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/ss-e1636535100122.jpg 1257w, https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/ss-e1636535100122-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/library.utm.my\/utmlibrarynews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2021\/11\/ss-e1636535100122-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1257px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UTM Library user education program are offered exclusively via physical face-to-face medium for many years.
