E-leaning has become every day and commonplace in higher education across the world. In some institutions, opportunities and finances of technology have yet to be fully utilised. To better enable the initial exploitation of e-learning, this paper describes the development of a theoretical construct, based on original research, describing the characteristics associated with the successful deployment of technology evidenced in Egyptian higher education supported by the concepts of a technology acceptance model. The theoretical construct is designed to both, reflect the research findings and, support developments in e-learning. indispensable success features based around the quadrant of curriculum, tutors, learners and technology. Findings illustrate the importance of curriculum content specifications (theoretical, practical); tutors' features (attitude towards e-learning, proficiency of the technology, and support); Learners' features (computer competency, English language proficiency, and learning style); and Technological feature (usability, affordances and infrastructure) for successful e-learning implementation.It is concluded that by systematically considering these features the implementation of e-learning and blended learning can be more effective and efficient.
