To date, past research in Malaysia focused much on the effectiveness and acceptace of e-learning (Ndubisi, 2006); attitude towards e-MBA (Mahmod, Dahlan, Ramayah, Karia, Asaari, Muhammad & Abu Hassan, 2005) as well as factors affecting students’ willingness and commitment to use e-learning continuously (Ramayah, et. al.; 2010).

The present study has investigated student learning via the use of e-learning and face to face approaches. The major focus of this study was to examine the students’ experiences and their level of satisfaction via quantitative and qualitative methods. Using self constructed questionnaire, the satisfaction of student learning is determined by the lecturer’s teaching strategies and lecturer’s attitude or awareness towards the whole concept of distant learning itself.
