Paper Abstract:
|
The deployment of e-learning offers an opportunity to build the skills required for the 21st century knowledge-based
economy. It is important to be able to evaluate various e-learning systems and analyse their efficacy. The focus of this
paper is to investigate the area of e-learning evaluation in order to discover or formulate a framework or model that
would assist the successful evaluation of e-learning in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The manner in which
organisations currently implement e-learning evaluation is investigated. This paper critically assesses four current models
and determines how applicable they are to HEIs. Finally, the various perspectives are synthesised and inform the creation
of a new theoretical model for the implementation of successful e-learning evaluation. The proposed model attempts to
address the identified shortcomings, and is suggested for use as a guideline for evaluating e-learning in HEIs. |
