Whatsapp, Zoom, Facebook to foster students learning as a tool to gather information, communicate, have a video

meeting and even consultation with the lecturers remotely. The current practice previously never use Zoom or

video conference app to conduct a meeting effectively. Having a conventional meeting physically needs to

consider everyone’s availability before proceeding.
