Abstract: Recently, the market of E-Learning is soaring and is
known as a new paradigm in modern education. E-Learning acts
as a medium, consisting of several types of computers and
electronic media that are communication tools as well as the
Internet, which provides training and informative access on
certain subjects. By using E-Learning students can attend online
classes anywhere, regardless of time and place. Generally,
E-Learning is more geared towards self-training and is ideal for
individuals who work full-time but desire to further their studies.
Thus, this study has been developed and integrated with factors
leading towards the effectiveness of E-Learning as a tool in
Teaching and Learning (T&L) approach. A quantitative
approach was applied by using a self-administered distribution of
questionnaire targeted at higher education students. Therefore,
the outcomes of this research will help to provide insightful
information to the current education system in Malaysia,
particularly in crafting strategies to enhance the learning
education for the country in general.
Keywords: E-Learning; Effectiveness of Teaching; Teaching

studies [6]. E-Learning is now changing much more than the
content and approaches to E-Learning. Way before
E-Learning, there were other Web-based technologies
(WBT), Open Distance Learning (ODL), Technology Based
Learning (TBL) and Open Learning [1]. In the era of
information technology, E-Learning has become a popular
term, and there are many interpretations of it. E-Learning also
delivers information via the Internet to somewhere other than
the class where the professor is teaching.
With this alternative, students can communicate with their
lectures or other students in the classroom or outside of the
class [6]. [15] stated that E-Learning is a platform of teaching
and learning where students can receive teaching materials
using the Internet and other network media. E-Learning
allows a sophisticated learning process to take place
regardless of the distance and number of members browsing
it. E-Learning becomes more productive with the
continuation of a traditional class combines with an online
class. Furthermore, E-Learning has become a potential
learning platform that provides access all the time where
students will be able to learn anytime and anywhere from
every corner of the universe [17]. There are some benefits that
can be obtained by anyone who uses E-Learning as a learning
medium [1]. Among them is a student who uses E-Learning in
the lesson will quickly get information instead of following
traditional methods. Besides, E-Learning is far more effective
without being bound by a packed schedule and it is also an
unlimited method where many ways how different course
materials can be presented to students with various electronic
learning techniques. Moreover, E-Learning provides positive
impact when it is used and best utilised by teachers and
lecturers, and it also helps in the application of 21st-century
skills in the education system [15].
There is a problem that should be taken into account in this
study, i.e. the identification of the effectiveness of E-Learning
tools in the Teaching and Learning (T&L) systems among
students at a higher education institution. The problem that
arises is a clear, concise statement that describes the
symptoms of a particular issue that the researcher wants to
investigate. According to [3], the change of learning styles
provides a bit of challenge in cultural expectations and the
on-going development of technology while [1] stated that
E-Learning requires skills of electronic knowledge.
