Abstract: In this information age, knowledge plays an important role to improve people's standard and quality. Therefore e-learning has become increasingly important as instruments for organizations as it supports the attributes of knowledge sharing and dissemination. Conventional learning that applied nowadays in most universities has been assumed, by educators to restrict learners from accessing knowledge and information from outside world. This condition has bound the learners from improving their education standard. So e-learning has become the best solution to all organizations in conducting their training effectively. Problems faced by universities also can be solved with e learning that educators and students from around the world can communicate together without boundary. This paper was written in accordance with the analysis and evaluation of a survey being carried out among the undergraduates of University of Malaya (UM). Throughout the survey, a total number!
of 200 respondents from various faculties had contributed to the questionnaires distributed for data elicitation. The research focuses on the e learning from the perspective of factor that affects e learning, effectiveness and awareness. In short, this paper highlights the output of a survey on the effectiveness of e-learning among the undergraduates in UM based on the factors such as (1) Cost/Time Saving, (2) Allows for self-scheduled learning, (3) Ease-of-use, (4) More Interesting, (5) Learning Materials are up-to-date and (6) Interactive Learning. Besides, this research article will also emphasize on the potential of e-learning in the future.
