Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012
In this new century, Internet has become an important medium in human life. Widely used of Internet throughout the world, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been a driving force that transforms economic, business, commercial activities and socio-political changes in a borderless world. The changes has affected education sector thoroughly for the last few years. Nowadays, E-learning plays important roles in education institution. Elearning is the delivery of learning, training or education program by electronic means. This new technology involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone). Through the years, E-learning creates a new paradigm for modern education. However, study shows that there are a numbers of failures when it comes to implementation process of e-learning. Since the model is at the core of any technology in order to meet major challenges and become successful, there is a need to develop appropriate models for E-learning. Thus, to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon, it is vital to focus on emerged models in this area. Questionnaires been distributed to 120 students of Universiti Teknologi MARA Pahang in order to identify the important elements of E-learning based on students perceptions. The results been analyzed using SPSS. Study shows there are 10 elements to ensure successfulness of E-learning which are ease of use, appearance, linkage, structure and layout, information, reliability, efficiency, support, communication and security. It is believes that these elements are very important elements in ensuring successfulness of E-learning in higher learning Institutions in Malaysia.

Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology, 2015
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of e-Learning system based on the usage, perception and satisfaction among Postgraduate students in relation to the differences between race, gender, department and level of computer usage experiences. The study was conducted in university, Kuala Lumpur. The questionnaire was distributed to 67 postgraduate students. E-learning is composed of three main factors, the usage, perception and satisfaction of e-Learning between department and access duration. The results of this study showed that most (always) of the student used e-learning to upload lecture notes (28%) and submit assignment (30%). The use of the e-learning system by lecturers might increase student perception that e-learning system has made studying life easier. Postgraduate students from different departments have similar levels of computer usage experience; sources of awareness of e-learning similar number of times accessing e-learning in a week and have similar reasons for using the e-Learning system. There was significance difference of the reasons using e-Learning for group discussions and download lecture notes between department. In conclusion, the usage of e-Learning among postgraduate student was low and mainly to download lecture notes.

Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences, 2012
Electronic learning (E-learning) is the current technology that is widely used nowadays. E-learning goes beyond digital technologies. New E-learning technology continues to become increasingly accessed and implemented by people of all walks of life. Increasingly, the technologies are becoming more integrated as an invisible and ubiquitous part of a global system. This study attempted to identify the students' awareness on E-learning in higher learning Institutions. E-Learning in higher learning Institutions aim to give students a greater autonomy regarding the point in time, the content and the method by which they learn by providing on demand learning, that eliminates the barriers of time and distance. This paper presents a survey from 120 students of Universiti Teknologi MARA Pahang (UiTM). Data were then analyzed using SPSS. The results show that the students are interested on this new technology as they are willing to use E-learning. The results prove that the concept of E-learning can be more easily acceptable if it is able to provide at least the same learning experience based on the current education style and able to provide an interactive learning environment for them. The acceptance level of the students is also high, and the results obtained revealed that the respondents accept E-learning as one method of teaching and learning process. It is believed that Elearning will be able to improve the educational efficiency by complementing traditional learning in Universiti Teknologi MARA Pahang (UiTM).
