With the pandemic, the education sector all over the shifted from face-to face-classes to online learning. One of the disadvantages of online learning is having group work since it is susceptible to the impacts of a pandemic. Considering it often involves face-to-face interaction and coordination across people, time, and space, making social distancing and virtual work are a dramatic shift away from typical teamwork contexts.

The study is administered upon reaching saturation point wherein no new information is obtained resulting in data satisfaction. This study utilized the non-probability sampling technique, specifically convenience sampling hence the qualitative nature of the study. The convenience sampling technique is the most appropriate for the study as this method is conveniently available for the participants to suit the researchers' requirements, especially under the circumstances of the impossibility of face-to-face contact. This study utilized thematic analysis. The researchers were able to thematically organize the results to the particulars of the participant's responses.
