Pandemic has changed teaching, learning and assessment (TLA) methods in conducting remote learning during open distance learning (ODL). This scenario has switched physical learning to virtual learning worldwide including UiTM. Ideally it has a positive impact in the academic landscape, however there are challenges for technical programmes which assess psychomotor domain including Diploma in Civil Engineering at UiTM Pasir Gudang. This paper is a preliminary study to compare the student performance before pandemic (Sept 2019-Jan 2020) and during pandemic (Sept 2020- Jan 2021) in addressing psychomotor domain for laboratory courses (water engineering laboratory). Result shows a positive impact on student performance during ODL. However, there is a flaw and weakness in assessing psychomotor domain during ODL. Hence monitoring on TLA should be done for the betterment of TLA for future and continual quality improvement (CQI) is necessary to ensure the quality of teaching for laboratory courses.
