Abstract:

E-learning has been variously defined, but can be simply described as a learning process in which learners can communicate with their instructors and their peers, and access learning materials, over the Internet or other computer networks. It therefore provides a means through which the powerful and pervasive computing and communications technologies can be applied to tertiary education – and to some of the key challenges now facing universities. Since the adoption of E- learning system in MARA University of Technology (UiTM) has been implemented for a few years, we would like to measure the factors and level of students’ acceptance this system. This research will help in increasing the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process among students’ and lectures and help to meet teaching and learning needs of all lecturers and students’. In this research, it includes three factors that contribute to the students’ acceptance in using e–learning. The factors are instructor’s characteristic, students’ characteristics, and technology resources. A set of questionnaires were distributed to 150 respondents as a tool for data collection.
