Summary

E-learning is becoming very popular nowadays : it attracts different learners - particularly
working adults and fulltime students. This study reports the benefits of e-learning from the
viewpoint of learners, and moreover the limitations of e-learning from the viewpoint of these
learners. From the results, it may be beneficial for e-learning providers to improve themselves.
Ultimately, this paper examines the differences in their perceptions towards the e-learning
benefits and limitations between working adults and fulltime students. The results from the
findings showed that e-learning was perceived as beneficial by both groups of learners but that
the working adults perceived significantly more limitations in their e-learning. The findings
from this study therefore supported the concept of creating different e-learning products
customized for different learner groups. (Author's abstract)
