- Abstract
Remote learning has become the only option academics choose to support physical distancing due to the pandemic. With all constraints and opportunities, both educators and learners must adjust to the new learning practice. From the educators’ side, they need to design their courses harnessing the technology benefits to meet the learning goals. A number of factors needed to be considered to design such remote course to maximize students’ learning experience. This study aimed to describe how the English Grammar for Corporate Documents course was designed using ASSURE (Analyse learners; State objectives; Select method, media, or materials; Utilize media or materials; Require learners’ participation; Evaluate and revise) model to answer the challenge. Observation and library study were used to gain the data. A qualitative approach was used to conduct thematic analysis to see the challenges and opportunities faced by both educators and learners during the remote learning practice. After considering the constraints and affordances of remote learning, this course was designed by combining synchronous and asynchronous class activities. The design involved independent learning, explanations on materials, mini-quizzes, inviting peer feedback and discussions, and gaining students’ evaluations. The evaluation proved that by implementing synchronous and asynchronous class activities, students felt more motivated during the learning process.
