Abstract
ICT-based learning is a type of learning that employs ICT to promote, optimize, enhance, and facilitate knowledge acquisition. The purpose of this study was to look into the effectiveness and benefits of ICT-based learning during the Covid 19 Outbreak through online classes, as well as the challenges that students faced during its implementation. The study used a questionnaire and lesson plan analysis to supplement the data collection. Ms.Excel and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. The study included 2nd and 4th semester students of beginner and low advanced levels who had previously taken a placement test at the LDC UMP. The study found that the ICT app used in the online class was effective in fostering learning process. The students were satisfied and benefited from the administration of ICT-based learning. However, some minor issues were discovered, such as difficulties in running some features in the ICT app, an unstable internet connection during the class, and a relatively high cost of data consumption.
