E-learning incorporates self-motivation, communication, efficiency, and technology to provide an education means that eliminates distances and commutes. E-learning content can be accessed through computer terminals and internet-accessible technology. Nichols outlines ten e-learning concepts, including that e-learning is grounded in behaviorism and constructivism, is a unique education form, and will succeed through pedagogical innovation. Bates mentions that e-learning aims to increase learning flexibility and opportunity, enhance quality, develop skills, meet various learning styles, and improve cost effectiveness.

1. E – Learning Concept
 E – learning is a means of education that
incorporates self – motivation,
communication, efficiency, and
technology. (Comerchero 2006: 19)
 E – learning is efficient as it eliminates
distances and subsequent commutes.
 E – learning content is designed with
media that can be accessed from
properly equipped computer terminals,
and other means of internet accessible
technology.

2. Nichols (2008) outlines ten e-learning
concepts in teaching and learning process as
follows:
1. E- learning is one of education medium
through classroom or distance learning
which grounded on behaviorism and
constructivism.
2. E – learning is a unique education form.
3. Learning tools must reflect pedagogical
purpose.
4. E – learning will be success through
education or pedagogical innovation

3. 5. E – learning can be applied by two ways:
presenting material and facilitating learning
process.
6. Learning media will work if the education model
is chosen and integrated carefully.
7. The use of technique or method must be
considered whether the learning process will be
delivered on-line or off-line.
8. Good effective learning process considers
wisely how users (students) involved.
9. E – learning implementation puts education
nature at the first place (enables student to
achieve instructional goals.)
10. Pedagogical benefits are the base of e-learning
implementation.

4. E- Learning Purpose
Bates (2009) mentions some purposes of E-
learning application:
1. To increase students’ learning
opportunity and flexibility.
2. To enhance general quality.
3. To develop skills and competencies.
4. To meet various learning styles or needs.
5. To improve learning cost effectiveness.
