RESPONSE TO THE ARTICLE 'E-LEARNING MODEL INNOVATION IN IMPROVING QUALITY OF EDUCATION'
E-learning is a form of learning that utilizes electronic technology (radio, television, movies, computers, internet, etc.). In my opinion, e-learning learning model is an innovative model of learning that can be used to improve the quality of education. This learning model can be used as a complement to the learning and the learning support students in gaining a variety of information. E-learning is a form of learning that utilizes electronic technology. With the learning e-learning so students can gain from electronic technologies such as: radio, television, movies, computers, internet, etc.. One e-learning electronic media that have extensive knowledge of windows is the internet. From the internet, students can access various kinds of information that can add their insights. There are several important matters that need to be understood by educators in connection with the use of Internet in teaching and learning process, among others: 1. Internet will only act as a resource and a tool in the P & P. Aktiviti learning should carefully designed by the Internet so that teachers can use to impress. 2. Computers and the Internet does not change the role of teacher. Jusru the contrary, the teacher will sentiasa seek to enhance their knowledge and skills, particularly in the IT field. 3. The use of computers and the Internet can reduce workload of teachers and students in addition to any work can be done with the pack, regular and systematic. 4. Internet is very useful to teachers and students and the community, especially in the face cabaran IT and globalization.
For students, the Internet can encourage students to become more active learning (active Learners), possible presence of variations that can be done in the process of learning and teaching, obtaining multiple skills and accomplishments efficiency. Use of the Internet in teaching and learning has its advantages and disadvantages. Some of the excess use of the Internet in teaching and learning, among others: 1. The surplus is that learners can feel happy and not bored with the material being taught because it uses tools such as video, audio and also be able to use tools like computers for schools that already have computer equipment. 2. Availability of e-moderating facilities where teachers and students can communicate easily via the internet on a regular basis or whenever the communication was done without being limited by distance, place and time. 3. Teachers and students can use the materials or instructions to learn in a structured and scheduled through the Internet, so that both can mutually assess the extent to which instructional materials studied. 4. Students can learn or review the materials at any time and anywhere if required given instructional materials stored on the computer. 5. If students need additional information relating to the material he had learned, he can access the internet. 6. Both teachers and students can have discussions through the Internet that can be followed by the number of participants, thereby increasing knowledge and greater insight. 7. The changing role of students than usual passive to active. 8. Relatively more efficient. For example for those who live far from a conventional college or school, for those who are busy working, for those who served in the ship, abroad, and so on.
Although demikan use of the Internet for learning or e-learning can not be separated from many shortcomings, among others: 1. Many teachers are not prepared using the method of e-learning and still teach using the lecture method and not yet skilled at using facilities such as video and computers. 2. Lack of interaction between teacher and student-student or even between themselves. Lack of this interaction could slow the formation of values in the process of learning and teaching. 3. The tendency to ignore aspects of academic or social aspects and vice versa to encourage the growth aspects of the business / commercial. 4. The changing role of teachers from the original master of conventional learning techniques, are now also required to know the techniques of learning using ICT. 5. Students who do not have a high learning motivation are likely to fail. 6. Not all of the available internet facilities (perhaps this is related to the question of access to electricity, telephone, or computer) 7. The lack of those who know and have the skills of internet problems, and 8. Lack of mastery of computer languages.
CONCLUSION
E-learning is not simply just move all the learning on the Internet. The nature of e-learning is a learning process that is poured through Internet technology. Besides the principle of simple, personal, and quick to consider. To add to the appeal can also use the theory of games. Hence the principle of learning and communication needs to be designed like a conventional learning. Here the need for the development of e-learning models appropriate to the needs. There are opinions that say that any sophisticated learning media can not replace fully the role of teachers / lecturers. Planting values of personality and a touch difficult. Here the challenge for policy makers and designers of e-learning. Therefore, I agree that in the conventional education system, the function of e-learning is to enrich the knowledge and understanding of learners, as well as the process of habituation to literacy learning resources, especially internet technologies.
