Abstract

In the 21st Century, learners and employees are required to continuously exhibit their learning skill to enhance their knowledge and performance. E-learning born at the time to leverage these requirements and quickly becomes one of the possible ways to provides a flexible and cost effective learning strategy. Research (Knight, 2002) shows that 70% of e-learning is pursuing in training-based workplace. It gives rise on the concern that whether e-learning is originally developed for education in which the learning activities are described as formal learning (Semenov, 2000). This paper intends to enhance these issues to discuss some characteristics and difficulties on utilization of e-learning for formal learning.
