Learnig media is non personal medim that used by teacher in teaching and learning process to reach the instructional study purpose ( E.D Corte in Ws. Winkel ). Beside that using media in learning process will be usefull when teacher do not have a role in that process ( Sudjana : 1989 ). And then Using media media by University students is certainly a fascinating portion of research for educationists and social scientists. Maintain that in the available literature there are beneficial designs and styles of employing it at school level. It describes the introduction of contents and focuses on how to share, interact, and collaborate and socialize by its use ( Waleed and Shahizan [16].

Research Methodology

The data for this study was collected by way of survey questionare on 3rd grade English Student in Islamic University of Riau. The sample consist of 8 males and 16 females. Students were instructed to choose one of the options in the statement that relate with their character and offer about the study progress trough learning media. The questionare was find – tuned with refference to english study carried out with students. A questionare consist of 20 items was designed, each participants was provide with questionares.

Conceptual Framework

This study purpose for a brief discussion on the contents in the suggested framework for The Impact of Electronic Media use on Academic Performance among university students through collaborative learning in 3rd grade English Departement Islamic University of Riau. However, this research finds that electronic media integration relates to the students' academic performance, the variables observed to be used of electronic media, in this study are: Interaction with peers, Interaction with teacher and Engagement. Influence students' academic performance through collaborative learning “mediator” because the dependent variable, are the students’ perception as the independent variable. Similarly, a conceptual framework that identifies instruments by which using electronic media influences students academic performance through collaborative learning is supplied. We suggest that student awareness from the interaction with peers, interaction using the teacher, engagement, simplicity of use that derive from using of electronic media promote active collaborative learning and, which ultimately results in enhanced students' academic performance. Social media increases the quality of perceived interaction within the class both among students interaction with peers and between students and also the teacher interaction. Interaction is created like a critical aspect in the training process. It encourages students to have fun playing the class active collaborative learning , and also to create a sustained behavior participation in mastering activities the engagement . The existence of these components is instrumental in improving collaborative learning and students’ academic performance.

Result and Discussion

            Base on the diagram, the diffences between students who always using electronic media and often using electronic media only 9%. Its mean most of students having a good progress in English learning proccess.

Unless will affect the use of electronic media negatively on the academic performance of students. We propose for future work more studies and addition of factors have an effect with collaborative learning to improve students' academic performance and taking into account demographic factors, a larger sample to clarify more and Find more elements to measure the the factors that affect a student's academic performance through collaborative learning in higher education institutions this is in our search in the future.
