The role of readiness factors in E-learning outcomes: An empirical study

Application of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process in Ranking Modern Educational Systems’ Success Criteria

“…In the recent years, the interest in e-learning tools, designing and implementing e-learning methods has been increased [1]. These systems allow people for ''learning far away'', and they have been frequently designed and used in higher education [1].…”

“…These systems allow people for ''learning far away'', and they have been frequently designed and used in higher education [1].…”

“…As Strand & Thune [1] notify that evaluation process answers questions such as: Are new technologies producing better learning than traditional classrooms and traditional teachers? Or, are claims of radical improvements in learning as a result of ICT only empty words aimed at making people believe in the utility of ICT and buy more technology?…”

“…For instant, many online courses cannot sufficiently motivate students to participate, in other word, web based education (e-learning) is apt to isolate trainees and this feature lead to high rate of failure. By considering increasing investment on e-learning solutions, it is important to know how evaluate e-learning programs and overcome their shortcomings [1]. Many researchers have studied several aspects of e-learning and many different approaches were adopted to assess e-learning performance and outcomes [1], [1], [2].…”

“…The main reasons of rapid growth of e-learning can be summarized as follows: an opportunity for overcoming the limitations of traditional learning, such as geographical distance, time, budget or busy program; equal opportunities For getting education no matter where you live, how old you are, better quality and a variety of lecture materials; use shared resources and the students can receive knowledge, skills and experience from other universities [1] been viewed as the use of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve the quality of learning by facilitating access to resources and services, as well as remote exchanges and collaboration [2] These e-learning systems gather a huge deal of information; which is worthy in evaluating students, performance and assisting teachers to detect of possible errors, shortcomings and finally get improvements [1] Worldwide, the e-learning market has a growth rate of 35.6%, but failures exist [1]. Although some researchers believe e-learning students learn as well as students of traditional methods, e-learning courses have some limitations which must be reveal and amend [1]. For instant, many online courses cannot sufficiently motivate students to participate, in other word, web based education (e-learning) is apt to isolate trainees and this feature lead to high rate of failure.…”
