E-learning

SYNOPSIS

In the appearance of the computer in the school, the educators

first considered the advantages that it can bring to them. Part of
the advantages are the acceleration of learning, improve teaching
conditions, and enhancement of the school and classroom
management.
In the introduction of the E-learning as another strategy for learni
ng, many universities are aware about the benefits it can give to
the students as well as on teachers.
The e-society is the term applied in the use of the consumers on
Internet, web, and information technology in which it can
change the society for the better living. However, the people can
still recognize that the changes require many nontechnical barriers that is indeed, needed to be addressed. The
non-technical barriers often times limit the ability or capability of
the technology.
All of the components of the e-society are purposely made for the
benefit of the society. But as the old saying says no one is
created perfect the e-society also receives drawbacks and other
limitations because of the issues. There are only problems that
limit the business men in doing so. The problems are on the
business models that can be apply for the organizational change
& the security of the applied internal system, privacy of the
people and even the consumers, and the trust and& the legal
barriers to international sales.

SYNOPSIS

Background of the Study& Problem Statement

E-learning is best
described as the online learning and the networked learning.
Through the use of the computer based-education, computerbased instruction, and computer supported learning, the distance
or obstacles in education is not anymore part of the boundary
that limits the professionalism especially on the college students.
With this idea, what are the impacts of E-learning in the
institutions based on the performance of the students.
In online education it requires the three main models, namely& th
e behaviorism, constructive and blended learning model.
In behavior model, it deals mostly about the individuals attitude.
It discusses how an individual responds to the environment. In the
other hand in constructive model, it merely talks about the
quality of software and the estimation of the cost, effort and
schedule in planning a new software development activity.
Furthermore the third model is blended learning model, in which it
describes the
technique and strategy in gaining information through internet we
b which is the
primary source in online education.
Unaware, the people accepted the changes that appear on their
way. And at a sudden, changes affect their entire life. Most of the
people are also dependent on the technologies where in they
rely too much on its capabilities.
However, these interactions draw various benefits as well as
issues regarding to the ethical, social, privacy, security, and
morality and these issues will be tackled in the study.

SYNOPSIS

Objectives of the proposed study

The reasons provided by previous researches for the slow uptake
of online educational ready cover different areas of study based
on the derivation of information from the policies developed by
the government and educational institutions together with the
interview of teachers and school management.
However, there is need to validate these results by deriving
information from students themselves as the targeted
population for E-learning and the group that would likely
determine the direction of E-learning.
This would fill the information gap to clarify the issue. Results
should be able to aid government and educational institution
policy makers in determining the rights place for online learning in
the educational system relative to the particular content and
develop means of achieving higher levels of Viability for
internet education through teacher and student support
activities.
In this study, it makes the researchers to evaluate the
quality of distance education in learning environment.
Through this evaluation, the researcher could conclude that it is
worthy to study in which the subjects will able to gain more
knowledge no matter what their status in life. It is open to all level
of education.

SYNOPSIS

Research Methodology
To ensure that data are properly collected, multiple data
collection tools were used. This research collected data via a
demographic survey, time diary, and interviews. !demographic
survey was used in order to control the individual intervening
variables including computer-self efficacy, knowledge, and
domain intelligence. The research considered two
objectives that fueled the entire study. First, the study
attempts to identify the specific learning outcome with the
intervention of the E-learning in many of the institutions to
promote the professionalism. And second is to make thrust on
another pedagogical innovation that is with the concern of the
Internet that can help support, improve, and Implement the new
way the learning.
Research questions and hypothesis
1. How does the technology as well as the idea of E-learning help
the Students develop their learning capacity?
2. How does the E-learning be an effective tool in facilitating the
learning and communication in the academic performance of the
students?
3. Does the E-learning helps to build a strong bridge in the
relationship of the students and the teachers towards learning?

The study provided several questions that can serve as the

engine of the proposal to achieve and satisfy the presented
objectives.

SYNOPSIS

Methodology and Limitations

The applied method of the study is through the incorporation of th
e
questionnaires. The questionnaires cited the different issues in
the usage of the students in the availability of the Internet and
how does the Internet affect their
learning capabilities.
The questionnaires are only given to the students and included a
free space where they can write their own ideas about the
Internet-connection computer in relation to their studies .since
questionnaires provide precise answer, there is a limiting factor
that the participants might not base their answer unto the first
thing that comes into their mind. Which is important is assessing
the behaviors of the students. Because the e-society is a broad
technological intervention, this method is a great advantage for
the study. In addition, out of the applied method, a
comprehensive analysis can be generated.
Research approach
To derive quality and comprehensive data, the study combines
the quantitative and qualitative research approach.

SYNOPSIS
Quantitative research
Finds direct link to deduction because it tests and develops
hypotheses and theories. This research method leads to
generalized results or deduction. Moreover, quantitative method
also involves the treatment of quantifiable or measurable data.
Qualitative research
Supports the gathering of detailed descriptions of characteristics,
events and situations making this the appropriate approach for an
in-depth study of the descriptions of a phenomenon.

Research design
Data gathering method
To accomplish the research objectives and obtain necessary
information, the
Survey method appropriately supports data collection on the reasons for the
slow uptake of online education. The survey questionnaire includes
open/close-ended questions intended to elicit information on the
reasons of the respondents in opting for physical classroom or
home-based online education.
Sampling Method
To select the representative sample of respondents, the simple
random sampling will be used. This will be applied by randomly
selecting University students without consideration for
classifications or strata to derive information on the
characteristics of the university population. Students both
enrolled in the physical and E-learning settings will be obtained

from the registration section of the school and a sample is

randomly selected by computer.

SYNOPSIS

Data analysis techniques quantitative data

will be analyses by looking at patterns emerging from the number
of students engaged in E-learning relative to the school
population as well as the patterns of E-learning enrolment in
terms of age, gender, economic status, course preferences. This
should be able to provide a picture of the extent that online
learning is patronized by university students. Qualitative data
will be analyses by looking at similarities and differences in
answers to determine common factors influencing the decision of
students over E-learning.

Importance / Scope of Proposed Study

Distance learning is a tool for e-commerce and used to leverage
the intellectual capital of commercial and educational
organizations - its most important asset. Today technology leads
the way to productivity and the Internet has become the vehicle
of choice for markets and educational institutions. The next big
killer application for the Internet is going to be education.
Distance learning via the Internet combined with multimedia platforms can satisfy the demand
for alternative forms of education. DE uses the work of the best
instructors, an extensive collection of resources and provides 24/7
approach.
New values

In the old days, corporate value and value creation were

defined principally through material and financial assets.

SYNOPSIS

New technologies
The life of knowledge and human skills today is shorter than
ever, mounting the pressure to remain up to date with ones
education and training throughout a career.
Competitive edge
Corporations view learning as a competitive weapon rather than
a bothersome cost factor. Business success depends increasingly
on top-quality employee performance, which in turn requires topquality training. Cost effective In the run to remain competitive
in todays labor-tight market, companies are exploiting advances
in technology to train employees rapidly, effectively, and at less
expense. Globalization is trade borders become less significant,
global competition intensifies.
The scope of E-learning in India is actually much wider. A part
from proper course works, some E-learning portals in India are
also conducting mock tests for various competitive examinations
like engineering, medical, management etc. The future of Elearning industry seems to be very bright in India as number of
Internet users is growing in the country. E learning industry in
India is still in its infant stage.
E learning is yet to penetrate
Indian education system and hence there is ample opportunity for
private players to invest in this industry. The major advantage in
India is its large student base. E learning will enable students to
earn degrees and certificates without leaving their hometown.
This will also reduce the cost of education. This is more relevant in
the Indian content, because here you can find the reputed
universities and colleges only in the big cities. Fortunately, the
number of students using computer is increasing, as such more
students have access to E learning. As such, this will make higher
education more accessible to the students. Classrooms are
boring. Today students feel school is not challenging or interactive
enough. E-learning has brought back the joy in learning through
its innovative and interactive content and delivery. According to
market data retrieval (MDR) in USA two thirds of colleges and

universities offer long distance learning courses and the number SYNOPSIS
of institutions offering accredited degrees have increased to 55%.
Besides distance learning now there is distributed learning. This
term describes the educational experiences of individuals and
groups that are distributed over geographies and cultures using
variety of media delivery methods.
