INTRODUCTION
A. Background
With the advent of globalisation and virtualisation, the education and the
process of knowledge impart has taken a turn. From being a part of virtual classrooms
to learning while playing games, everything is a part of the umbrella term we call elearning. The learning avenue has been broadened significantly and new innovations
are coming up day and night. E-learning today is just a glimpse of tomorrows
technology today.
The dissemination of education has been a noble initiative since the early
ages in history. Scholars have travelled leagues in quest for knowledge and education.
Chinese scholars who visited India have been revered largely in the history books in
India. With the advent of technology, this process has been facilitated in a major
way. The travel has become easier and the knowledge is available online. The latest
technological platforms have allowed for innovations in the field of e-learning.
Knowledge is now not restricted to the esoteric societies in far off areas. Knowledge
hunt has become a journey, not only in the real world but also the virtual world.
People can now know about new things sitting in the comfort of their rooms. One can
venture to the depths of the pacific sitting on a screen, stroll through the Dubai
airport or listen to the most complex lectures in the world sitting in the comfort of
ones home.
Along with the development of technology and information very rapidly,
the use of internet in education continues to grow, especially in the field of higher
education distance. Internet use in the area of education is used as an alternative
learning activity. Learning process is no longer focused on a central educational
institutions such as colleges, schools, courses, and other training centers, but have
changed the learning process without coming to the meeting place where the learning
process implemented. E-learning is a form of learning methods that are considered to
be student centered. The use of e-learning is expected to motivate the improvement of
the quality of learning and teaching materials, the quality of the activity and
independence of students, as well as the communication between teachers and
students and among students.

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
A. Definition E learning/Electronic Learning
E-learning is an electronic based learning process. One medium used is a
computer network. With the development in computer networks allow to be
developed in the form of web-based, so that subsequently developed into a wider
If sufficient number of computers for all students, the e-learning materials can be
used by all learners as self-learning materials. This model may be used if the
school has a computer device that is equipped with internet network.
G. Components of E-learning.
By Anonymous (2009) E-learning integrated / formed has the following components :
1. E-Learning Infrastructure
E-Learning infrastructure comprised of personal computer (PC), a computer
network, internet and multimedia equipment. Including teleconferencing
equipment when we deliver services synchronous learning via teleconference.
2. Systems and Applications e-Learning
System software to virtualize conventional teaching and learning process. How
class management, the manufacture of the material or the content, discussion
forums, a scoring system (report cards), online examination system and all the
features associated with the management of the learning process. The software
system is often called the Learning Management System (LMS).
3. Knowledge Management System / Knowledge Management System (KMS)
Knowledge Management System is used for recording and storing knowledge,
both formal and based on experience, into digital form for easy access to the user
depending on the authorization level of each
Knowledge Management System features consist of:
a. Data collection is a collection (pictures, historical crafts, painting, etc.) that
are often associated with interests or hobbies of objects (full mouth); or
collection of related research study.
b. Data digitalization is data related with grade for the calculation system.
c. Indexing and knowledge sharing.
4. Electronic Library / electronic library (e-Library)
E-Library is a service of IT (Information Technology) integrated for digital library
management (digital library). LEN e-library provides a flexible and customized /
tailored according to user needs.
5. Mobile Learning / Learning to use the phone.
Mobile learning adds to the usefulness of e-learning system. Mobile learning
include: content, content development tools (mobile learning author), and mobile
phone tracking system (mobile device tracking system).
H. Strenght and weakness of e-learning
There are some advantages comes from e-learning. The first is well-designed
e-learning programs can improve learners confidence (Donelly, Benson and Kirk
2012: 41). Besides (2007) that, Bates also claims some advantages of e-learning. They
are as follows
1. To meet flexible needs of todays learners. Todays students prefer something that
is flexible as well as learning. E-learning provides flexible processes and materials
accessed.
2. To enhance teaching and learning. Bates agrees that e-learning are able to increase
the value of teaching and learning activity. It can come from its efficiency and its
other strength.
3. To better prepare students for the requirements of business and industry. The
unlimited materials and technological usability become the positive value that
comes e-learning. It supports students to have more knowledge for business and
industry.
4. To develop independent learning skills through exposure to online programming.
E-learning demands learners to become a center of learning process. The learners
of e-learning can train their skills independently.
5. Low cost, reduce the cost of education as a whole (infrastructure, equipment,
books)
The advantages of e-learning are seen as power comes from the processes
by which learners role are center and independent in the learning process.
However, the process is the main structure of learning and it is essential in
determining advantages and disadvantages of learning
The weakness of E learning
Use the Internet for learning or e-learning can not be separated from various
disadvantages among others, can be mentioned as follows :
1. Lack of interaction between teacher and students indeed between studens
themselves. The lack of interaction can slow the formation of values in the

teaching-learning process.
For people who stutter technology, this system difficult to implement.
Process of learning and teaching tends towards training rather than education.
Students who do not have a high learning motivation tends to fail.
Access speed is not stable.
I. Media of E learning
a. Computer.
b. Mobile phone.
J. Filosofis of E-learning.
According to Cisco (within Suyanto, 2005) there are some philosophical of elearning, there are :

FINAL
A. Conclusion
E-Learning is a system or education concept that use of information
technology in teaching and learning. E-Learning is also an approach to learning via
computers connected to the Internet, which the participants attempt to obtain learning
materials that fit their needs. In the learning process there are many methods that can
be done by educators or teachers in learning activities in the classroom. One thing that
should be emphasized and understood is that e-learning can not completely replace
conventional learning activities in the classroom. But e-learning can be a partner or
complementary with konvensianal studying in class. E-learning, Learning
Independence is "Basic Thrust" electronic learning activities, but this type of learning
activity still requires sufficient interaction in an effort to maintain quality.
B. Suggestion
We recommend learning and training using e-learning as a tool to convey
meteri be effective and efficient in terms of time and place.
