Framework for the evaluation of e-learning in Malaysian Public Sector from the pedagogical perspective

Barriers to open e-learning in public administrations

“…By now, e-learning research has conceptualized the barriers to e-learning from different perspectives, including the pedagogical Yunus & Salim, 2008), resource-based and managerial perspectives . While various barriers are reported across studies, some barriers such as time and weak infrastructure appear to be commonly reported (cf.…”

“…Other E-Learning solutions are developed on a domestic level for economic means. E-Learning is often assumed to provide a quick and cost efficient solution to increase performance in the sector Yunus & Salim, 2008). Technology enhanced learning may increase digital competences and raise competitive advantages in terms of efficiency and quality of service provision, for example Hârt ßescu, 2012;.…”

“…The latter, however, miss to consider potential challenging factors or lessons learned (cf. Yunus & Salim, 2008). Insight on practices and experiences gained in the development, implementation or use of open E-Learning-systems remains vague (cf.…”

“…In times of the knowledge society and on-going digitization of administrations, it is therefore surprising that collaborative E-Learning and the role of OER seem to have been neglected. Associated to e-Government or knowledge management reforms, E-Learning has already been introduced in few administrations (Yunus & Salim, 2008;e.g. Bere, Silvestri, & Nemes ß, 2014;.…”

“…Due to the limited number of studies in the public sector, the review will further contribute to close the research gap and systemize experiences on the development and use of open E-Learning (cf. Yunus & Salim, 2008). To systemize findings of the literature review, this study extends the Barrier Framework [BF] for E-and OER learning and will thus derive at a contextualized Barrier Framework [cBF] for public administrations.…”
