The pandemic, which prompted a nationwide shutdown in Malaysia in 2020, has profoundly influenced education delivery modalities. This transition marked a shift from the conventional face-to-face instructional approach to remote teaching and learning methods. The adoption of these alternative approaches has had significant implications for various components of the academic curriculum, including fieldwork, practical sessions, laboratory work, and the conduct of final examinations, particularly for students pursuing a Diploma in Geomatics Science. This study investigates the repercussions of the open and distance learning (ODL) approach on the attainment of psychomotor skills (PLO3) and cognitive competencies (PLO1 and PLO2) among students. Specifically, the study examines students' academic performance over two successive semesters: October 2020 to July 2022 (during the COVID phase), and October 2022 to February 2023 (post-COVID phase). The findings substantiate the notable impact of alterations in educational delivery methods on the achievement of PLOs. The research outcomes presented herein offer valuable insights and serve as pivotal data for educators and policymakers within the academic realm.
