The utilization of the Google Meet platform that substitutes the traditional method of learning Art and Design subjects has been one of choice by Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) in recent years whether fully for online classes or hybrid classes. The problem of learning through Google Meet can be seen from previous research that the students face problems with satisfaction, adapting to technological approaches, studio processes, or lacking of focus. Hence, there is a need to further investigate the relevancy of Google Meet in the aspects of art students in studio pedagogy to achieve an environment of lifelong learning in line with the goal of Education 4.0. This study aims to determine the relevancy of Google Meet as a medium of learning during Online Learning towards Art and Design students in UiTM Shah Alam. It specifically studies on Fine Art students and Textile Design students as representatives of the College of Creative Art (CCA) as part of Fine Art and Design Studies. This research is based on data obtained from a survey questionnaire that was distributed to the students that have or are currently studying through the Google Meet platform. The data were analyzed to evaluate the level of appropriateness of Google Meet in the aspect of ease of use, perceived usefulness, communication and interaction, and satisfaction. The result of the study found that learning theory and studio pedagogy through Google Meet achieve higher agreement among students. It is hoped that this study is able to contribute to the higher improvement in utilizing Google Meet as an Online Learning tool towards art pedagogy.
