A YouTube channel was created and used as a platform for students’ presentation and for posting Doodly videos created by the instructors. The links of the Doodly videos were also embedded in eLEAP. Additionally, the delivery of the course was boosted by an Instagram page, Biotechnologists at UNIMAS, which acted as a platform for fostering ‘learning during leisure time’ culture amongst the students. Overall, the approach resulted in excellent academic performance and positive feedbacks from the students. Although the approach was demonstrated within a Biotechnology context, the utility of the approaches is applicable for other science or non-science courses.
