Institutional Issues

Abstract

Institutions should develop comprehensive strategic and business plans for successful e-learning initiatives. Political factors often have significant impact upon the success of e-learning (Berge, 2001). Institutional funding and resources for delivering and maintaining e-learning are critical. Therefore, e-learning strategies must be aligned with and fully supported by the institutions’ missions and strategic plans. E-learning initiatives require orchestration of personnel with diverse skills sets (Belanger & Jordan, 2000).
