Background: Educators and students, especially in higher education, are forced to shift their classes to online classes from the COVID-19 situation to maintain social distancing since the pandemic has evolved. However, this shifting process has been difficult for educators, as they need to reorient their teaching methods to achieve learning outcomes. Objective: Therefore, this research paper aims to evaluate the perception, challenges, and satisfaction of online teaching among lecturers with online questionnaires through Google Forms. Methods: A quantitative approach with a purposive sampling method and a cross-sectional study was conducted from March until July 2022. A total of 87 lecturers from the Faculty of Health Sciences at UiTM Puncak Alam were recruited using the questionnaires, which were Perceptions on Online Education, Challenges Faced by Teachers in Online Teaching, and Post-Teaching Phase. Results: The result revealed that lecturers' perception of online teaching had a positive concept (2.013). However, some lecturers believed that online teaching did not help clear the students doubts. This study also revealed that lecturers faced challenges (2.063) when conducting online classes, but they were satisfied (2.903) with online teaching. Conclusion: It is concluded that there is no relationship between demographic factors and the lecturers' perceptions, challenges, and satisfaction with online teaching.
