The Usage of E-Learning Material to Support Good Communication with Learners

Abstract

The focus of this research is to determine whether the exposure to e-learning materials enables students to improve their English. Test scores before and after being exposed to e-learning material have been compared to discover whether there is any appreciable improvement in students' English Language proficiency levels. Students' profiles on the computer-assisted learning are studied to determine the effectiveness with some recommendation for developing better elearning material especially in blended technology widely used in Malaysian institutions. The paper shows that students learn by doing, not only by sitting in the classroom or listening to a lecture. Furthermore, students learn from failure, because mistakes stimulate questions, and it is only when students have a question that they are receptive to advice. Students learn from stories if delivered on a 'just-in-time' basis, as the remediation of some failure or in answer to students' question.
