A discussion on E-learning offered in Malaysian Universities

12:57 PM / Posted by BEN-T1-G3 /



E-learning is the use of technology to enable people to learn anytime and anywhere that include training, the delivering just-in-time information and guidance from the experts. In other words, E-learning is the modern process of education where part of the learning experience takes place without face to face communication between the lecturer and the students. It is also known as distance learning.


E-learning was begun in the late of 1980's in Malaysia. One of the universit, MARA University of Technology is offering distance learning in 1990 but it was not successful due to lack of resources. On December 1998 was the first launched of e-learning system, 70 students enrolled by the time has increases up to 2,000 in 2006. Futhermore, there are more and more universities had moved to e-learning such as Universiti Putra Malaysia(UPM), Malaysia Institute of Management, Open University Malaysia, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia(UTM) and others. However, there are pros and cons of e-learning.

PROS :-

From the student's perspectives, e-learning not only save the cost of travelling but it also save the time of traavelling. This can reduce the family budget. They can reduce the cost of living and expenses for those students are study apart from their hometown. Besides that, e-learning allows students to get the teaching materials and any other recources through e-libraries.

Another pros of e-learning is its time flexibility. One can get online resources, communicate with his/her tutor or even classmates, send his query and writing the term paper at anytime and anywhere with the use of the Internet. It is much easier for them to interact between each other rather than face-to-face communications.

Moreover, e-learning students may have the capability to study on their own space. Unlike traditional setting, e-learning students can study whenever they're free and the online faculty assigns project with a deadline and student can finish their projects at the time they find feasible within the particular deadline.

CONS :-

On the other hand, there are some drawbacks in using e-learning. One of the biggest arguments about e-learning is that it makes students lazy and ineffective, due to being spoon fed by the educational institutions. With e-learning, most of the educational task is done either by the tutor or some sophisticated software, leaving students with simple task of just downloading the notes and reading them. Although this may make the learning much more easier, it may runs the risk of creating independant and lazy students. When these students graduate and enter the working society, they tend to expect all the information to be delivered to them too. Since these students are used to be spoon fed, they become cripples in the working environment and unable to move forward without constant help from others.

However, e-learning will lead to lack of face-to-face communication between students and lecturer, and this will cause to some misunderstanding and conflict may arise. Lecturers may not understand student's needs, demand, interest and motivation and while for the students, they may not really know lecturers wants and requirement for his/her student as well. This may lose the students directions and get confused on the course of activities.

As a conclusion, e-learning will bring advantages and disadvantages to the students. Therefore, solutions are needed to overcome those problems.
