- The learning and teaching process tends to resemble
training programs rather than educational process.
- Teachers are required not only to poses conventional
teaching techniques (face-to-face), but they are also
required to know learning techniques using
information and communication technology (ICT).
- Learners who do not have high learning motivation
tend to fail.

The Use of e-Learning in Islamic Education
The term e-learning consists of the letter “e” which stands
for “electronic” and “learning” which means “to learn”.
Thus e-learning can be interpreted as learning by using
electronic devices, especially computer and mobile devices.
The term e-learning can also be defined as a form of
information technology applied in the field of education in
cyberspace context. However, the term e-learning is more
appropriately defined as making a transformation of the
existing learning process in school/ madrasah, or college
into a digital form which facilitated by internet technology.

Studies conducted by multiple educational
organizations strongly support the development of e-
learning, who states that computer-based learning is very
effective, allowing 30% better education, 40% less time,
and 30% cheaper cost. The World Bank in 1997 has
announced the Global Distance Learning Network
(GDLN) program which has partners in 80 countries
around the world.
Through the GDLN, the World Bank provides 5 times
more e-learning to the students (from 30 to 150 students)
at a cost of 31% cheaper.
