Abstract
|
While most of the Western higher education institutions implementing e-learning and
left behind Asian countries which still highly depend on traditional learning, it is
important for the Johor Bahru (JB) higher education institutions to start consider if implementing elearning will be a good decision to be made in the coming future.
The purpose of this research was to act as a guideline for JB higher education
institutions that are considering the implementation of e-learning portal, through
achieving the objectives of the study -- study the JB learners’ acceptability towards elearning
portal to complement traditional learning, and determine the critical success
factors for a success e-learning portal.
In this research, one hundred of 18 years old and above current and potential e-learners
were selected from the Johor population as samples, through judgment sampling. Each
sample was personally administered by the researcher to answer set of questionnaire that
helps the researcher to gather the learners’ opinions and expectations towards e-learning
portal.
Data collected through questionnaires were computed by using SPSS system, for the
subject of the study. Independent samples T-tests were computed to determine if the preset
hypotheses are valid. The tests were considered significant at the 0.05 level. From the
T-tests, three out of four hypotheses were proven valid. Besides, frequency tests and
percentage tests also carried out to study the learners’ acceptability on e-learning portal
and to determine e-learning portal’s critical success factors. The findings showed that e-learning portal is highly accepted by current and potential e-learners, while time-saving,
user-friendly, and supportive level are critically decide the success of the e-learning
portal.
Although the samples were selected through judgment sampling, there are few
limitations faced during the field survey; namely, some respondents do not understand
the meaning of ‘currently taking e-learning course’ and need the explanation from the
researcher, some respondents unwilling to participate and thus reducing the response
rate, and some respondents in e-learning business which influenced
the accuracy of the answers.
Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that JB higher education institutions
to put in effort on reducing the material downloading problems and the portal loading
problems, to ensure the critical success factor – time saving can be achieved. Lastly, the
researcher also suggested a future research to be carried out by focusing on those
private/public institutions that are currently using e-learning portal as part of the
teaching method.
