Utilization of e-learning technology in higher education

Abstract

The topic of e-learning is gaining much attention, especially because most of the universities and tertiary institutions have enhanced their classroom courses with e-learning systems. The case provides an overview of the implementation of a newly adopted e-learning system in ABC Higher Education College (AHEC). Any new way of doing things generates some resistance by the people affected. Just knowing the importance of e-learning is not enough. A lack of effective change strategies in AHEC resulted in low acceptance and usage of the e-learning system. Though there is no universal approach for every changing environment, the case aims to trigger readers to develop change management strategies and future directions with respect to the introduction of e-learning system in order to maximize the acceptance and benefits of the college.
