Abstract:
Universitas Padjadjaran (Unpad) currently has four distance education programs and the implementation of e-learning in these programs becomes pivotal. However, the traditional faceto- face is still the main teaching method, so that the teaching costs and efforts might not be efficient. One of the main issues is lecturers’ attitude toward e-learning, whereas it plays a significant role in the effective adoption of e-learning in higher education. Lecturers’ pre-dispositions attitude greatly impacts on the success of transformation from traditional into technology-enhanced education. This study examined the lecturer's attitude towards elearning in order to design a comprehensive program and strategies to improve the use of e-learning in Universitas Padjadjaran. The data gained using a questionnaire consists of 22 items with five points of Likert scale. The sample were 43 lecturers from 12 faculties. The result shows that the respondents have a moderately positive attitude toward e-learning (mean=3.81). To conclude, a sustainable training program and supports need to be conducted by the stakeholders to improve the implementation of e-learning in Unpad, specifically in the distance education programs.
