Abstract

The adaptation of digital instruments geared for sustainable development in online education has continued to evolve significantly over the years, which highly reflects the shift to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0). The technicalities that supports these online learning methodologies redefines the importance in mediating effective measurement processes, in order to support the increased usage of digital learning systems (DLS). In reflection of the industry shifting its focus towards skills education and vocational education (TVET), particularly in a post-pandemic ecosystem, the dependency of digital learning systems have exponentially increase, bearing heavy weightage in supporting online communication among learners that transcends conventional practices. However, there is no standardized recognition in measuring the learner’s attainment upon successful completion of any online modules. This is mainly due to the fact that there is no universal governing education policy that defines achievements through digital learning systems. This study executes a quantitative approach to look at possible acceptance of a secondary online instrumentation that functions to establish progressive skills development for a sample group of digital literate learners in Malaysia. The outcome contributes greatly to manifest innovative design ideas that can enhance skills assessment methods that conforms to skills education and TVET across the globe.
