Abstract
e-Learning is an innovation in the world of education today. Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) has introduced its own e-Learning platform called SPIN in 2008. It was later changed to i-Folio in 2011 but still has the same primary function. Apart from these two systems, e-Learning can also be conducted using various mediums such as websites, blogs and social networking sites. A study has been conducted to determine UKM lecturers’ level of satisfaction of in utilising e-Learning. The sample consisted of 206 UKM lecturers from seven faculties. Overall, the study found that the lecturers are satisfied with the e-Learning utilisation. They feel that the e-Learning attributes in UKM involving the delivery of teaching information is at an acceptable level while the attributes that involve discussion in terms of scoring or forum which has a low priority and considered not that important when utilising e-Learning. The quality of utilising e-Learning in UKM is at an acceptable level. In addition, only in the Faculty of Islamic Studies, there is a relationship between the frequency of lecturers utilising e-Learning and the importance of utilising e-Learning.
