My definition of E-learning

E-learning defined as delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic devices like use of computer, mobile phone and so on. There are the most common definition of E-learning but after I maintain this blog, I have another definition of E-learning.

My definition of E-learning is people can learn through Internet or electronic devices, not only some courses or programs but knowledge. Other than that, I also think that when people read an article, a picture or anything that can give them some thought and make people think about it are consider E-learning.

For example, I read an article about a story between husband and wife. The story is about the fighting between them and how the husband using unexpected way to solve the problem. This article is very simple yet touching, the important thing is it teach me how to maintain or handle the relationship. Yes, I really learn from this article, although it just an email and I learn something from the Internet. Therefore, for me, It consider E-learning.

Actually, when a person who have a heart to learn something, they can learn anywhere no matter is at school, college, shopping mall, home, movie and so on.

There have a proverb said "Live to old to learn" and this blog is about e-learning. Therefore, whoever want to study but never take action because of the age or finance, you can throws away all the useless though. Take action now to choose E-learning to continue your study. At this field,nobody will care about what your age or look like. Have financial problem? In our post consist of a E-learning subjects which is free of charge.

So, what are you waiting for? Take action now!

Last but not least, maybe you might not agree with my definition of e-learning but what I try to said is everyone have their own thought and value. If you are not agree with my definition, welcome to leave a comment here or you have your own definition of E-learning are welcome to leave a comment here also. Thanks.

e-Learning @ UTM

Hello everybody~!

This is the last post for me, haha

I'm EXCITED, LOL..

Recently I had found that an UTM ( University Teknologi Malaysia) has provide e-learning courses. UTM is the largest engineering-based university located at the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia. It is renowned for being at the forefront of engineering and technological knowledge and expertise. UTM has also established a reputation for innovative education and leading-edge research, with a vision to educating technologists and professionals, towards the development of creative human resource and advanced technological innovations.

You can search more information from the homepage of UTM. The sites will explain to you what is e-learning, the advantages of taking e-learning courses, and shows you the example of how lecturer use e-learning in teaching and learning. Furthermore, they also provide the video about the opinion of the students and lecturer of what they think about e-learning and how the technology helps in their studies.

In my opinion, this is a good chance for some local students who are interested on e-learning to let them gain more information about e-learning. This is because there is rarely of university or college that has provides e-learning courses in Malaysia. UTM has explained in detail and solve some question of the students. Do you think that e-learning will be an effective service in Malaysia? Please kindly leave a comment. Thank you.. :)

Bye Bye~!

poll result

The poll title of week 8 is "Would e-learning be a trend in Malaysia", the poll result indicate that 60% of respondent think that e-learning won't be a trend in Malaysia. Whereas, 40% of respondent think that e-learning would be a trend in Malaysia.

From the poll result we think that Malaysia still cannot accept self-studying at home because we are used to having lecturer to guide us. We do not have the motivation and determination of self-studying because it is said that procrastination is a popular Malaysian culture and as e-learning needs a strong will to study by oneself alone all the time. Therefore, it is most likely be unsuccessful for students in Malaysia. This is the opinion of majority of the students but there is always a small amount of people that would think otherwise.

Like in all other matters, there is always two sides with opposing thoughts, as said, this small group of people who thinks e-learning is workable means they have the will to execute the idea of self study or maybe they might also be people who have financial difficulties and because e-learning is cheaper, therefore they opt for e-learning. This is also more preferred by working adults where they want to expand their knowledge but work at the same time. As e-learning is considered as a self study method where you can choose where and when to study, they would have the flexibility to study according to their workload.
