Chapter 7: Lessons Learned from Navigating e-Campus UMK

Abstract

In line with the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2015-2025, blended learning has become one of the focuses in higher education. Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) has thus implemented blended learning. Such engagement is indeed essential, especially during the advent of the digital era. This chapter presents a reflection on the integration of technology in teaching and learning activities in UMK. The aim is to share the experiences among the English language teachers who have used a moodle-based learning management system (LMS). The discussion in the chapter provides an overview of the use of e-Campus UMK in teaching and learning over the years. While presenting the development of e-Campus UMK, the authors reflect on the benefits and challenges specifically experienced by English language teachers in teaching and learning. They then share about the initiatives taken by the university in dealing with the obstacles faced in teaching and learning. The reflection concludes that despite the challenges faced in using e-Campus UMK, it is no doubt that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and e-Campus UMK can be perceived as an effective and reliable platform for both the teachers and learners when dealing with teaching and learning beyond the wall.
