To improve the relationship between higher-education stakeholders (i.e. Students, academics and administrator's authorities), the researcher examined and assessed various types of models and framework in e-learning and specifically in e-learning 3.0, to develop an initial new e-learning 3.0 framework for higher education in Malaysia. This paper, will present the new initial framework, who will support the self-directed and continuous learning and the potential to hare e-learning knowledge by providing better access to key resources to support e-learning and improve user interaction and student satisfaction.
