INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
This research examines the use of computer technology as an e-learning
teaching tool for college students in higher education. Students can use the internet to
access libraries that are many times larger than those in their schools or communities,
and they can take advantage of material that is current, not found in their textbooks,
and possibly foreign to their teacher. Students have been found to be motivated to
improve their reading and writing skills by email interactions. Students can also
collaborate with persons who are not physically present over long distances through
email. In e-learning, computer technology plays a crucial role. Students often report
feeling more overloaded in courses that use e-learning environments compared to
traditional face to face courses that do not use such environments.
The presence of the Corona virus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic has
changed the order in all corners of the world. The satisfaction of online learning by
Prima Indonesia University students can be seen from the results of the keosener that
the researcher has distributed to 501 students. Discussions here consider online design
and organizational factors that might contribute to students report of information
overload. It was predicted that certain online factors might contribute to stimulus
overload and possibly students perceived overload, rather than information overload
per second. User characteristics and a range of design and organizational factors that
might contribute to perceived overload are discussed and hypotheses of how such
factors might affect learning outcomes are also discussed. The findings revealed that
too hectic online surroundings with irrelevant information (I e, a stimulus-rich or
stimulus-noisy online environment) had detrimental influence on learning for
students with “high” e-learning technology experience, but no impact on learning for
other students (as measured by a knowledge test of material studied during
experimental sessions). There’s no denying that online settings are dense with data
and stimulation, some of which are irrelevant and distracting. Learning can be
influenced by how one manages irrelevant or distracting information and stimuli.
Surprisingly, the findings imply that only experienced students were affected by
overload. With the proliferation of simple Web 2.0 tools like podcasts, blogs, and wikis,
e-learning has become a popular method of individual training. While people use these
tools in the hope that their training will improve their performance, this is not given.
This paper contends that an individual’s level of digital literacy influences her
performance by influencing her performance and expectations. Education has
undergone significant changes as a result of technological advancements. The advent
of computer technology and the evolution of the internet have resulted in new ways to
learning and training known as e-learning. The purpose of this study is to investigate
the influences of system and instructor factors on e-learning effectiveness under the
interactions of computer self-efficacy. In this study, the factors of the e-learning
system are functionality, interaction, and response.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Computers have created a very effective information system to help streamline
the management of an organization. This makes it a much-needed tool for every
business, banking, government, entertainment, daily life, industry, education, and
administration. Computers have become part of our lives is essential. Computers
benefit the business and personal world by being able to do the following more
efficiently: buying and selling products, communicating throughout the world,
enhancing our knowledge, job influences, entertainment, research, and paying bills.
Computer has become very important nowadays because it is very much
accurate, fast and can accomplish many tasks easily. Otherwise, to complete those
tasks manually much more time is required. It can do very big calculations in just a
fraction of a second. Moreover, it can store huge amount of data in it. Technology
affects the way individuals communicate, learn, and think. It helps society and
determines how people interact with each other daily. It has made learning more
interactive and collaborative, this helps people better engage with the material that
they are learning and have trouble with, computers have changed the way people relate
to one another and their living environment, as well as how humans organize their
work, their communities, and their time. Society, in turn, has influenced the
development of computers through the needs of people have for processing
information. For instance, media often report that intense use of the Internet increases
the risk of isolation, alienation, and withdrawal from society, but available evidence
shows that their internet neither isolates people nor reduces their sociability; it
increases sociability, civic engagement, and the intensify of social media improved
creativity and social awareness for our society by interacting with other people and
sharing new ideas and opinions. On the other hand, social media has influenced our
culture in negative ways. People can share whatever they want to on social media and
some of them might be inappropriate pictures. E-learning systems facilitate the
learning process, reinforcing their importance as a component of educational strategy.
Understanding the factors that influence e-learning success is critical for developing
instructional strategies. Several authors have investigated e-learning implementation
and adoption, and numerous studies have addressed e-learning success from various
angles.
However, none of these studies have established whether student’s cultural
characteristics such as individualism versus collectivism (individualism/collectivism),
are a determinant of perceived e-learning success. This study proposes an e-learning
system success model that incorporates individualism/collectivism as a cultural
construct. This paper describes an empirical study conducted using an electronic
survey distributed to higher education students from various learning levels and
universities. To obtain results, the study employs quantitative methods. Our findings
show that satisfaction and the use of e-learning systems have a positive influence on
learner’s perceived individual impact.
CONCLUSION
This year’s statistics show students who are committed to their studies and who
continue to use personal and campus technologies to achieve academic achievement.
Personal technologies are still widely used, but new technologies with the potential to
improve student learning are gaining popularity among our kids. Meanwhile, the
technology infrastructure on campus continues to have an impact on students’ overall
technology experiences. We also discovered this year that student demographics have
a significant impact on the types of technology that are perceived as vital to their
performance as well as their technological experiences. We also believe that this year’s
study will help to generate vitals conversations among campus stakeholders about
technology, diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as accessibility. Although nothing
that “change is happening” while certain things “stay the same” isn’t a game changer,
we are confident that this report will provide solid insights into why these trends are
happening, as well as meaningful recommendations for institutional stakeholders.
The more information that can be gathered to better understand student’
technological preferences and relationships with technology, the better equipped
faculty and IT organizations will be to meet present and future student demands.
Students still regard technology as critical to their academic achievement in2018.
What’s needed now is to learn how to properly use technology to help students
succeed, taking into account institutional goals, expenses, educational approaches,
and evidence of impact. Rather than relying on anecdotal based assumptions about
students and technology or single studies that us validate our preexisting prejudices,
this study supports these discussions by offering actual evidence for achieving these
goals. Higher education institutions can benefit from technology-based learning
systems that improve student learning. This paper examines the factors that influence
students’ behavioral intentions toward using e-learning systems in universities to
supplement classroom learning. This paper proposes six eternal factors that influence
students’ behavioral intention to use e-learning based on the technology acceptance
model. A quantitative approach based on structural equation modeling is used, and
research data from 437 undergraduate students enrolled in three academic programs
is analyzed.
This paper also investigates the relevance of previously used external variables,
such as self-efficacy, experience, and computer anxiety, for current world students
who were raised as digital learners and have higher levels of computer literacy and
experience. In addition to students, the practical implications of this research are
relevant to administration and faculty. To enable the successful implementation of elearning systems in academic programs, university administration can invest in
relevant technical infrastructure. The use of mobile technologies makes e-learning
systems more user friendly and encourages collaborative learning.

GROUP EXPLANATION
1. Whether you agree or disagree, why?
In this study, we as a group we are agree on it because it is widely recognized
that computers have revolutionized the way we learn and teach. With the continuous
advancement of technology, e-learning has become an even more significant part of
education in recent years. The use of computers has made learning more accessible,
flexible, and engaging. Students can now attend online classes, take virtual exams, and
access various educational materials online with ease.
Moreover, e-learning has resulted in reduced costs, especially for students who
do not have to travel to attend classes physically. The use of computers has also made
education more personalized, with teachers and administrators able to track student’s
progress, identify areas where they need additional support, and offer targeted
assistance. On the other hand, some argue that the use of computers and online
learning environments has led to increased isolation among students, reduced
interpersonal interaction, and a loss of the human touch in education. There are also
concerns about the quality of online education and whether students can receive the
same level of education as they would in a traditional classroom setting.
Overall, it is essential to recognize that computers have had a significant impact
on e-learning, both positive and negative. As with any technological advancement, it
is crucial to continue questioning and improving the ways in which computers are used
in education to ensure the best possible learning outcomes for students.
2. Will this help you as a SW student? In what way?
As a Social Work student, we have always been interested in the ways in which
technology can be utilized to enhance the learning experience. In just the last couple
of decades, the impact on e-learning has been immense, and it has reshaped the
traditional educational landscape in a remarkable way.
To begin with, the use of computers in e-learning has made education more
accessible and convenient, particularly for individuals who are unable to attend in
person classes due to various reasons. The virtual nature of e-learning allows students
to study from anywhere in the world, at any time, and at their own pace, thereby
removing geographical and logistical barriers that might have previously deterred
someone from pursuing an education. Moreover, computers have revolutionized the
way in which students learn. The integration of multimedia images, videos, audio etc.
in e-learning more interactive and engaging. Furthermore, e-learning courses that
include virtual simulations, virtual reality, and gamification further enhance learning
by providing visual and experiential learning opportunities that might otherwise be
difficult for students to access. As a social work student, the impact of computers on
e-learning has been invaluable to us. It has been enabled us to attend classes from
anywhere but it happens if the connection is not stable. Additionally, the immersive
nature of e-learning has helped us to understand complex concepts with greater ease.
In conclusion, the impact of computers on e-learning cannot be overstated. The
convenience, accessibility, and immersive learning opportunities provided by
computers has transformed the educational landscape in ways that were inconceivable
just a few decades ago. As a social work student, we can attest to the value of e-learning
and the transformative impact of computers on the way we learn today and so on.
