Cultures and cosmology are intangible elements that need to be understood well. By adapting Connectivism Theory by Siemens (2004), a survey has been conducted to investigate students’ perceptions of the needs and readiness of the use of KaBuKos. KaBuKos is an online mini dictionary of Malay Culture and Cosmology concepts using QR codeas online learning material. A questionnaire consisting of three sections was designed and distributed to 169 students who had taken the BMP447: Malay Culture and Cosmology course. Findings show that internet access can help respondents search for the required information on Malay Cultures and Cosmology concepts. Finding also shows respondents are willing to communicate online with their friends and lecturers if they do not understand the concepts. Findings also show that the respondents need online learning material that can be accessed any time and anywhere. They can use it for their preparation before class. It is believed that KaBuKos will empower lecturers and students in the online teaching and learning of Malay Culture and Cosmology concepts.
