Introduction
E-learning is the use of Information and Communication Technology e.g.
Internet, Computer, Mobile phone, Learning Management System, Televisions,
Radios and others to enhance teaching and learning activities. E-learning is a
unifying term used to describe the fields of online learning, web-based training and
technology delivered instructions. E-learning has become an increasingly popular
learning approach in higher educational institutions due to vast growth of internet
technology. Nowadays E-learning has a competitive advantage and many
universities have implemented it and this has impacts on students’ performance.
However, still there are other universities and academic institutions that use very
low interactive E-learning which is not enough to contribute to the performance of
the students. In contrary to that, other higher educational institutions use highly
interactive E-learning which directly improves students’ performance in general.
Objective
 To find out is, E-learning an effective way of learning.
 The comfort levels of students on E-learning.
Literature Review
In the term ‘e-learning’, ‘e’ in regards to e-learning, obviously stands for
electronic. Electronic learning can take many forms, and consequently there has
been some debate about what can legitimately be covered under such a term. A
wider discussion on the use of the term e-learning can be found in Pollard and
Hillage (2001):
‘The delivery and administration of learning opportunities and support via

computer, networked and web-based technology to help individual
performance and development.’ (Pollard and Hillage, 2001, 20)
This is a deliberately wide definition which predominantly includes the use of the
Internet, intranets and CD-ROMs, but also includes video conferencing, satellite-
delivered lecturing, and virtual educational networks.
This is a comparative study between Traditional and E-learning. Traditional

learning involves a physical place where students and teacher can interact whereas
E-learning is pursued in an e-space where a server and internet browsing interface
is to be there. Due to a constant trend of growing student numbers across the world
traditional learning will be expensive. The reason behind is the physical
engagement of a teacher in this method which involves payment to the teacher for
his service and other required support assets. E-learning can be a method which
can ensure reduced cost while enhancing the outcome in the learning system. It is
based on wireless communication networks which are widely and rapidly used due
to the flexibility, freedom to use that it promotes an effective learning system. The
wireless communication allows learner to receive the learning materials and
lectures from anywhere as long as they are connected to the internet. Classroom
education may not always succeed for online learning, when the instructor is not
around which need to stimulate motivation and continual learning progress.
Traditional Learning
Definition:
Traditional Learning is defined as a learning process where learners and experts
are present physically in same place at same time. Most famous traditional way of
imparting education since it has started is the chalk and talk method. Figure 1
shows the main kind of traditional learning. Class room teaching is a best adopted
method among available for traditional learning.
E-learning is a best adopted economical method and which consumes less time as
compared to the traditional learning.
E-learning requires more maturity and self-discipline from students than traditional
classroom education, which may explain the higher dropout rates in E-learning
programs compared to conventional programs.
Students who just completed high schools are not suitable for E-learning as they
still need guidance from parents or instructors. E-learning is more suitable to
students pursuing higher education or who would like to upgrade their
qualifications either part of career development or personal ambition.
