The usage of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs)
has been widely used in educational development. As the facilities of
ICTs developed, the new tools of learning have been discovered. The
online learning or e-learning is a method of delivering knowledge using
electronic media. E-learning has offered many advantages to the students
such as more flexible learning environment as it could be anywhere, not
specifically on physical class anymore. In addition, e-learning is different
from the traditional learning in terms of delivery method where e-learning
utilizes the Internet and Web 2.0, while traditional learning environment
required the instructor, a textbook and any additional support materials.
However, it is important to investigate the acceptance of e-learning
among the students. The issues faced by the students during e-learning
implementation should be discovered. Therefore, this study is conducted
to investigate the acceptance of e-learning among agricultural students in
UiTM Pahang. The data were gathered from the students from the Faculty
of Plantation and Agrotechnology in Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM)
Pahang using online questionnaire. The data were analysed descriptively
using the Microsoft Excel 2010. The reported findings might be of interest
to academics, administrators, and decision-makers involved in planning,
developing and implementation of future e-learning activities.
