Abstract: Abstract The rapid expansion of new online teaching and learning technologies has led to a change in the learning and teaching process of tertiary learners particularly during Covid-19 pandemic. With this paradigm shift, tertiary learners’ learning preferences are to be re-evaluated in this research. The research design deployed is quantitative research via questionnaire adapted from VARK inventory. A total of 165 tertiary learners from Science and Social Science streams in a northern region of Malaysia were identified using multi-staged cluster sampling technique and involved in the research fieldwork. The research concludes that tertiary learners irrespective of their gender and areas of study prefer only one domain instead of the mixture of visual, audio, read/write and kinesthetics learning preferences. More specifically, they prefer to learn via kinesthetics related activities, including hands on and problem- solving tasks. Besides, the distribution of visual, audio, read/write and kinesthetics learning preferences among tertiary learners are not significantly related to their gender and areas of study. These research results provide an insight to educators to plan and execute more effective teaching methods in order to facilitate more effective learning among tertiary learners in the post pandemic era.
