Abstract
This chapter explored the use of an electronic learning prototype to enhance the pedagogical knowledge and skills of Malaysian higher education educators. It assessed the benefits of an e-learning platform for addressing teaching challenges. Guided by constructivism, connectivism, activity theory, and adult learning theories, the study used design-based research (DBR) methodology, adapted from Reeves, in eight phases: analysis, design, validation, development, implementation, evaluation, impact, and continuous learning. Eight experts identified educators' professional development needs, while 43 educators participated in a training course using the prototype. Post-course surveys revealed readiness and motivation to integrate technology into teaching, indicating that electronic training can offer a scalable, sustainable solution for continuous professional development.
