The development of instructional electronic material or e-material for electrical and electronic studies was developed by many companies and institutions. However, the quality of the designed and the potentiality to use as a tool in teaching and learning is still doubtful. For this reason, the aim of this research was to understand the using technology and Instructional E-Material among technical teacher and student into teaching and learning. A qualitative case study methodology had been used to collect and analysis the data rigorously through several activities of interview, analysis of documentation and observation by researchers. The research was done at two established technical schools in Malaysia which involved some students and teachers in the schools. The finding shows that using technology into teaching and learning was preferred by technical teachers and students and e-material as a tool which will be enhanced to understand the subject of electrical and electronic as well. Assuredly, the teachers have masterly integrated in the e-material with their process of teaching and the students have to properly integrate into their learning process.

In this paper, we describe the introduction of blogs to a class of Masters in Technical and Vocational Education students taking the MBE 1223 Statistics in Education module in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). The purpose of the analysis is to elaborate on the perception of the participants towards blogs before, during and after training regarding the usefulness of their class blog. For the purpose of this study, participants will be required to handle their weekly reflective journals or their learning logs using their class blogs instead of handing them in hard copy weekly. Participants will be encouraged to blog and to provide feedback to their classmates' comments. Respondents will be required to reflect on lessons weekly and to write their reflections on the class blog. They were also required to reflect on their use of the technology in their module.

The purpose of this research project is to explore the use of Blackboard Learning  System (BLS) in enhancing interaction in online teaching and learning enviornment. This paper discusses the conceptual framework of Online Learning Interaction Continuum (OLIC) which explains the five levels of interactions. The OLIC was conceptualized as a result of a qualitative case study conducted at one of the university in Malaysia. The OLIC model consists of five levels of interaction beginning with level 1, the lowest level through level 5, the highest level. The levels are lecturer-interface interactions, lecturer-content interactions, lecturer-support interactions, learner-interface interactions and lecturer-context interactions. They state the challenges faced in the interactions such as facilities, time, knowledge and skill and policies and procedures, participation, interest, online instructional strategies and content. The research project demonstrated the importance of the level of interactions to implement Learning Management System (LMS) in teaching and learning in the higher institutions of learning

Work-Based Learning (WBL) is a teaching and learning method which requires students to go through industrial training, where the employers will be responsible for teaching and providing evaluation of the students. However, several problems exist in the area of cooperation between the educational institutions and the industries in Malaysia. Therefore, this study aims to explore the issues concerning the bilateral relations of educational institutions and industrial committee towards the WBL Programme in Malaysia. The findings show the critical bilateral relations brought to unsuccessful of WBL implementation because of no understanding exists between both parties.
