The growing emphasis placed on the need for the adoption of a learner-centred approach to teaching and learning in educational institutions for lifelong learning and sustainable development has made it necessary for the teachers in various disciplines, including electronics technology, to review teaching methods that strive to involve students in the learning process more directly than in other traditional methods. This development has resulted in pertinent questions being asked on how action learning with computers connected to the internet can make learning in electronics technology more efficient and effective; what kinds of software modules would it require; and how the same software would be used in several phases of the learning process. This paper describes few successful experiences in combining action learning and e-learning instructional approach aimed at enhancing the effectiveness of lesson delivery and yielding changes in participants' knowledge, while suggesting positive consequence of action-based e-learning in electronics technology, if adopted by lecturers and instructors.
