Pros and Cons from Student Perspective on E-learning E-learning is simply the modern process of education where part of the learning experience takes place without face to face communication between teachers and their students. The most common method of e-learning is where the tutor or lecturer places several course modules on the university intranet, and students have free access to these materials as and when  needed,as well as bulletin boards to keep them updated. There are certain institutions offer additional support for students by allowing them to discuss with the lecturers via oline forums,discussion boards and even real-time chat in Malaysian.The development of the e-learning strategies that have been introduced into Malaysian public universities since 1996. Universiti Tun Abdul Razak (UNITAR) UNITAR is Malaysia's first virtual University, was launched with the unique aim of providing distance education using state of the art technologies. UNITAR selected NIIT to jump start the content creation for the University. NIIT partnered with UNITAR and helped develop over 100 hours of instructional material for the students of Bachelor's Degree program for their first intake at the time of the launch of the University. E-learning has shown its great advantages thought its accessibility to all students irrespective of their resident.E-classes help students to communicate with their tutors,get clarifications regarding their subjects and study and access teaching material through e-libraries.Universities and colleges which provide online degrees involve more and more electonic facilities to give their online students fast and qualified assistance.Students interactions have become much easier than face to face commmunication. Besides that, another advantage of e-learning is its time flexibility.They can get online resources,communicate with his tutor or classmates,send his query and write term paper at any time he can access to the internet.  One of the biggest arguement about e-learning is that it makes students lazy and ineffective,due to being spoon fed by the educational institutions.Most educational task is done either by the tutor or some sophisticated software,leaving students with the simple task of just downloading notes and reading them. Although this may make the learning process easier and more effective, it also runs the risk of creating dependent and lazy students. When these students graduate and enter the working class, they tend to expect all the information to be delivered to them too. Other than that,lack of face to face communication with teachers contributes lack of understanding between a student and a teacher. While a teacher cannot easily feel a student's demands, interests and motivations, a student can simply be lazy being non-motivated enough and having free time schedule for his e-learning. This may result a low scope of the student's knowledge and the teacher's accusation in lack of proficiency. Next, online classes, conferences and discussions are limited in time and totally exclude emotional interactivity. Though some universities and colleges which provide online courses and give online degrees evolve voice communication through networking technologies there is still lack of gestures, vivid dialogue and feeling of your interlocutor's presence. Before you finally decide to enroll as a student of distance education,remember to consider the positive and negative aspects so that the program proves to be beneficial. Labels: Task 5
