The COVID-19 pandemic had prompted higher institutions around the globe to relocate traditional classes to online classes. Due to the pandemic, students were compelled to use online platforms that the university provided, such as Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom, to resume their studies. This study aims to evaluate the attitude of undergraduate students of agriculture in using these new platforms for online mode of learning so that in future, academicians and the Government can design online learning platforms that will enhance the learning of students . The results of this study show that distance learning is still in the development stage, and although traditional classrooms appeared to be indispensable, the positive attitudes and willingness ofthe majority of students to engage in distance learning classes in the post-COVID19 pandemic indicate that there is an immense potential future for e-learning platforms in higher education institutions.References
