Promoting E-commerce through E-learning

e-Learning has become a major tool to facilitate education. The education process becomes easier with the functions provided by e-Learning. UiTM has promoted e-Learning for educational purpose since 2005 to complement face-to-face classrooms teaching and learning. This survey exposed the students to the interactive learning by adopting course forum for student's participation. The aim is to familiarize and encourage participation in i-learn. Students need to participate in e-Commerce forum where they need to advertise and sell products in the e-Commerce forum. The survey conducted for four months and found that student's participation in the five parameters set by the instructor is quite satisfactory however most of the students still prefer face-to-face interactions for buying goods. Other than that, this survey recommend that the use of interactive learning must be promoted aggressively because students will use technology wisely if the right platform is provided to them.
