Times change the generation, it’s also change the learning style that we offer use in past. In the past, the learning is form to be vocal and written paper. However with the flow of the time and technologic grow in the years, a lot of high education school has come out with the style to teaching and letting the student to learning with different way compare to the past education formal. In the past, mostly educations are face-to face with the lecture to gain the knowledge. And now the styles of learning are changing form to e-learning which have improve a lot of in a lot aspect and also bring other side-effect to it.

Currently, the universities of Malaysia have already apply in the system of e-learning to education the youngster to provide more knowledge in advance to increase the ability of understanding and improve their learning ability. in the student perspective, we found out that e-learning have a lot provide advantages to us to sharing our knowledge and also more discussion be form to increasing our knowledge ,furthermore our ability. the e-learning also have help us in a lot aspect such as help students to communicate with their tutors, get clarifications regarding their subjects and study and access teaching materials through e-libraries. Universities and colleges which provide online degrees involve more and more electronic facilities to give their online students fast and qualified assistance. Students' interactions have become much easier than face-to-face communication.

Other than that, it also helps the student in saving time and flexible, which can get online resources, communicate with his tutor or class mates, send his query and write term paper at any time he can get access to the Internet.


The e-learning also have the pros in Asynchronous interaction. Unlike face-to-face or telephone conversations, electronic mail does not require participants to respond immediately. As a result, interactions can be more succinct and to-the-point, discussion can stay more on-track, and people can get a chance to craft their responses. This can lead to more thoughtful and creative conversations.

The cons of the e-learning are may be become a weakness for the learners with low motivation may fall behind. They are unable to follow up the topic of discussion and may make them give up in education and create more frustrated emotion in learning. And also may feel isolated from their teacher or classmates.

Secondly, hands-on or practical work is impossible in e-learning. Cause it need someone to guide and giving advice to correct their mistake.

In the end, I would conclude that, there have the advantages of e-learning however we must use it wise cause may bring up a lot matter in advance when we use in improper ways.
