However no matter how secure an elearning system is the security threats always fall on human factor. Human is identified as the weakest link in information security and lack of security awareness such as password sharing
will compromise the security of e-learning system. This paper studies the awareness level in information security among elearning users, particularly students at Higher Education Institution. The study focuses on evaluating awareness level, perception and behavior of e-learning users from International Islamic University Malaysia. Results of this study helps the university authority in preparing effective and specific awareness program in e-learning security for their students. |
