Recently, we’ve learned about e-learning from Miss Siti Fatimah, our lecturer. It was such a great knowledge because as a college student, we’ve definitely use this kind of learning tools. As in UiTM, our e-learning tools are ilearn. We get information from the site, if and only if we have an internet connection. Internet is valuable you know(nowadays).

Benefit of E-learning:
- Scalable –Elearning enables us to quickly create and communicate new policies, training, ideas, and concepts. Be it for entertainment or formal education, e learning is a great place to learn
- Capacity and Consistency –Using elearning allows educators to achieve a great degree of coverage for their target audience, and it ensures that the message is communicated in a consistent fashion. This results in all learners receiving the same training.
- High Learning Retention –Blended learning approaches result in a higher knowledge retention rate. It also helps that coursework can be refreshed and updated whenever needed.
- Time and Money Savings –This one is pretty well known, and a staple of any well-done elearning program. Elearning reduces time away from the workplace, eliminates the need for travel, and removes the need for classroom-based training.
