Pros:
Time flexibility- students can access the learning material at any time they want and they can study at their own pace. The learning sessions are available 24/7.
Cost savings- students need not travel to college/university, they can just study at home. This can help them to save their travelling cost and time.
Effectiveness and efficiency in communication- students can share and manage knowledge and skills among each individual. This enables active participation. Students’ interactions will become much easier than face-to-face communication.
Cons:
Technological- students need necessary hardware such as desktop or laptop and printer and they need to be familiar with those hardware.
Design of the system- poor design of the system causes users to feel frustrated and they might stop learning. The design should be easy for students to use.
Connecivity- if the bandwidth is low, downloading the content will be slow because the content requires a rich combination of multimedia components. This can affect students’ patience.

I do support e-learning, sometimes the timetable arrangement is just not suitable for our needs, make our daily routine ruin! UTAR, I'll be waiting for the e-learning process~
I disagree the e-learning. This is because the student might not get the chance to experience the learning from face to face with the teacher.
I do not support e learning as the student might not be able to get the chance of learning experience via face to face interaction.
