@ e-Learning concept

In the era of highly developed and modern, we cannot escape from the growing sophistication of technology. The development of education from the traditional to the Problem Based Learning or "Problem Based Learning" has been said until now. In Malaysia, Mobile Learning or hereafter called e-Learning can be said to be still new in terms of implementation. Therefore, what is meant by e-learning? It is one of a new concept in the learning process whereby emphasizing the ability to facilitate the learning process over without being tied to the physical location of the learning process takes place.

Learning through e-Learning has proven overseas and now has started to introduce in Malaysia where there are several institutions of higher learning have been integrating technology in their teaching curriculum. Sharing notes between students was made easier with the advent of mobile devices such as PDAs among students. They do not have to sit in front of a personal computer to download the notes. It has been simplified by just using the internet provided by mobile phone service provider's subscription. As a result, downloading the notes can be done anywhere and at anytime.

In addition, multimedia elements capable of integrating audio and video to attract students in the use of e-Learning. Through teaching and learning through audio and video, students will be more attentive, active, constructive, enthusiastic and able to boost the role of work in a creative and critical thinking. Developments such as this is essential in producing graduates who are competitive and competitive.

If the previous quizzes can only be done in the class, the lecturer can now hold a quiz for their students at any time by simply inserting the question and fix the time taken to the quiz being held. This can be done through mobile devices such as PDAs and mobile phones some kind of specific. Lecturers can smile because they not only can make quizzes for their students at any time but will also scored in real time without the need to manually calculate the scores. Software's to this quiz can be found easily and can also be produced by the lecturer using simple programming techniques.

The requirements in the new learning environment should be implemented so that the learning process is not confined to traditional methods alone. Through e-Learning, freedom and control is given to the students. Students are given the freedom to submit assignments, quiz, download notes, discuss and perform learning activities according to their needs and time requirements. The freedom given to them for the learning method to attract them in the depth of a lesson. Since each student is different, it is a motivation for them to continue to progress and improve their academic performance.

Short message service facilities that present mobile devices make teaching and learning easier because all the information on a date with a team of lecturers can be implemented quickly in real time. This capability saves time and facilitates a student and lecturer set their daily schedules without bound at certain times only.

Education based e-Learning is ideal for implementation in Malaysia. The paradigm we respect this new technology should be modified so that it can be realized. Ease of modern educational methods and mobile should be tested collectively to ensure our students, particularly at the tertiary level can experience the excitement of learning anywhere without being confined limit, place and time. Limited exposure to mobile technology must be terminated by holding a special class on this technology. Thus the opportunity for students to understand the power of technology can be improved. Early exposure, especially for first-year students at the university is very important to ensure that students are able to understand and subsequently adapting the learning of e-Learning in the study.
