knowledge online. E-learning is a new way of learning that was established in early 1990s.
(Callister, 1996) It provides learners with an environment of one-to-many instruction
learning without limitation of time and place. Providing with different kind of knowledge
sources, open learning system, delivery of multimedia format, cooperative learning, storing
and accessing to huge amount of learning material are some of the key benefits users can
have with E-learning method. In early period of E-learning, people were more acquainted
with the browse-based on HTML web pages. With the progression, knowledge map-based
was introduced to the online platform.(Shaw, 2008). The map shows the structure of
knowledge being stored on the online space. It shows the information and the relationship
of the overloaded information available out there. With the strict knowledge management
online, learners are more likely to manage their knowledge systemically. However, there
is one main point to be attended. Quality E-learning required computer-efficacy, which
will eventually lead to good learning score and good learning satisfaction(J.N., 1986). The
computer system has its complication that requires solid foundation in order to maximize
every hands-on experience with it. By lacking of good understanding of how to use the
computer and its methodology, learners’ perception towards its usefulness may promptly
shift into the negation.
With the freedom to learn, people are stepping forward to the area where they have
their full attention together. Knowledge absorption and participation level are found to be
in height. Online platform changes the way people learn as well as the values regarding
learning.(Turkle, 1995). Within the online context, spaces are being fragmented. People
with matching interest are assembling in so called virtual communities. There is a
term called ‘The Jigsaw’, which was created in 1978. It is one of the most well-known
techniques that is use to foster cooperation and discussion among member within the
virtual communities both face-to-face and online context.(Aronson E, 1978). The result of
this technique is the production of quality learning and knowledge. When an individual
chooses and manages the way to learn by himself upon curiosity level and area, this create
such structured activity resulted in best learning results.
The consumption of mobile phone technology
With the growth access and the extensive use of internet everywhere not just on the
desktop computer, people are now able to go online just anytime and anywhere with the
mobile phone technology. This technology allows communication without the surveillance
of anyone. It has the fast growth of consumption goods in recent years and put dynamism
of productivity to people everyday life.
