Abstract

The way of learning using eLearning is strongly encouraged, it helps students to participate in the learning process regardless of their location or time differences. Using eLearning, students save time and energy, for example: the time allocated to transportation to the educational institution can be used for study. The approach of an eLearning system is increasingly found in most educational institutions everywhere, offering the opportunity to encourage young students to choose an eLearning faculty. The aim of this paper is to investigate and understand academics’ attitudes towards integrating eLearning into Education, but from a student’s perspective. After reviewing the literature, it can be suggested that there is great potential to use only eLearning in education. However, it is understandable the existence of obstacles which restricts its integration among the students. Thus, the following main objective was formulated: to ascertain the attitude of students towards using eLearning in education. The finding from this study will help educational policymakers and faculty members to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the attitudes, motivations and concerns that exist surrounding the integration and development of eLearning in the field of education.
