Tamhidi Centre has been using online tools for learning in past years. The atmosphere of virtual world that is connected online has influenced academia in teaching and learning sessions. Before the Movement Control Order (MCO), blended learning has been carried out for all subjects taught in Tamhidi using Global Open Access Learning System (GOALS) as learning management system provided by USIM. Due to the pandemic outbreak, Tamhidi Centre has faced a challenging time because the semester is already at the final semester for the cohort 2019/2020. During the MCO 1.0, while students were at home, classes were conducted fully online. The final exams was also done online via GOALS. Then, coming the next cohort, for the first time in history, orientation was held online, and students came to campus in an arranged time within the period of seven days. Without having new staff intake, the grouping of students now is increased from 25 students per group to 45 students. Initially, classes are conducted online, both synchronous and asynchronously. All students are involved in this kind of approach, but for science stream students; biology, physics dan chemistry experiments still need to do face to face sessions in the laboratory. This paper will document the experience of several Tamhidi in using online tools before the MCO, during MCO, and after the MCO 1.0 days are over.

Al-Quran merupakan sebuah kitab suci yang sentiasa dibaca oleh umat Islam.

Multiliteracies concept in education used a variety of mediums; especially the use of printed materials, audio, visual, internet, mobile applications, all of which are compatible with the concept of learning in accordance with the current technology approaches. The features and benefits of the use of these multiliteracies are easily accessible, time-saving and interactive. Therefore, the use of multiliteracies is suitable to be adapted in the learning sessions amongst students. This study was undertaken to identify the advantages and challenges of students in the use and application of multiliteracies in terms of Naqli and Aqli scope in their learning sessions. A total of seven Tamhidi students (Foundation students of Islamic Science University of Malaysia) have been selected for this study. Data were collected through interviews and then analyzed by the method of 'Thematic Analysis'. In summary, this study found the use of multiliteracy can help generate ideas and interests amongst the students. However, the study also discovered that the use of multiliteracy materials are prone towards the exposure of 'Aqli rather than Naqli. This study suggested that there is a need to provide technology that is not only based on Aqli knowledge but also on the emphasis of Naqli towards establishing a holistic generation amongst the students. Keywords: Challenge, multiliteracies, naqli, aqli, learning.
