Abstract


Almost every aspect of life has been influenced by technology in the last decade. The impact of technology on education since the emergence of the World Wide Web has grown rapidly. Technology has created new learning methods in higher education. Online programs not only give graduates promising positions in today's work environment but also create and develop innovations in learning. Computer mediated communication systems (CMCs) are considered essential for successful online courses in college. This study aims to determine how to measure students' acceptance on the usefulness of the e-learning system based on Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) in teaching reading. There were 30 participants. Survey method used to gather the data. The result shown that CMC as a media for teaching reading in the higher education gave some benefits and motivate the students to comprehend the material well.
