4.0 Website Analysis

4.1 University College Sedaya Internation (UCSI) website

Currently in UCSI, there is an e-learning system called as e-Advantage. This is where the students in UCSI get to access their reading materials such as notes, assignment questions, announcements, and etc. This website also provides students with forum, timetable for their subjects, e-library, e-counselor, and etc.
To start off, the e-Advantage of UCSI indeed provides students with the flexibility, accessibility and convenience for downloading the contents. However, the contents are usually not being updated often and the speed of uploading can be concluded as disappointing. This has often been the cause of frustration among the students in UCSI as they require the notes posted in the e-Advantage for their reference in class.
Other than that, the contents posted are usually plain and simple. It is not developed to be engaging for the students partly due to the fact that the lecturers are simply being overworked in their daily tasks. This could discourage the students in learning as all they are seeing and reading are just words.
Furthermore, the website sometimes is not operational without any notice. The students may find it frustrating whenever they want to carry out their course selection via the e-Advantage. In addition, the website is not supportable for every web browser. For example, students who prefer to use Mozilla Firefox would find it not compatible when browsing through the website.
For students who are using a slow Internet connection, downloading the contents can be an irritation. As the speed of Internet in Malaysia is slow, it is hard to finish the download of the contents as the connection usually disconnects itself due to the problem of the internet service provider.
