Abstract
Electronic Learning (E-Learning) in the education system has become the obvious choice of the community over the globe because of its numerous advantages. The main aim of the present study is to identify Critical Success Factors (CSFs) and validate them for successful implementation of the E-Leaning at Saudi Arabian Universities. This study developed a multi-dimensional instrument for measuring the E-Learning CSFs in the higher educational institutions of Saudi Arabia. The study reviewed various CSFs from literature and identified most important E-Learning CSFs which are described and grouped in five dimensions such as Student, Instructor, Design and Contents, System and Technological, and Institutional Management Services. The 36 CSFs falling under these relevant dimensions were then validated their importance quantitatively through university Students, Instructors, and E-Learning staffs of some well-known universities in Saudi Arabia. A survey instrument was developed and tested on a sample of 257 respondents of Saudi Arabia Universities. It was found that System and Technological dimension is the most significant as perceived by respondents. Results of the study discovered that all obtained factors are highly reliable and thus would be useful to develop and implement E-Learning systems.
Highlights
E-Learning has become a novel means of learning trend in current years
Critical Success Factors (CSFs) came into a scenario in the literature when the comparison was made between some establishments, and the study was conducted to explore the components for success
At the beginning of the study, recent literature was reviewed in detail and analysed to determine and conclude the items relevant to Critical Success Factors (CSFs) with different dimension through content analysis qualitative techniques
Summary
E-Learning has become a novel means of learning trend in current years. It can provide amusing resources than the traditional classroom to enhance ease of learning-learning. Critical Success Factors (CSFs) play a vital role in enhancing the quality of the E-Learning organization. It is essential to verify, control, and measure to dictate the success of an entire system which results into achieving the quality standards of ELearning. The rapid growth of science leads to the new advancement of carrying learning content and enabling learnerinstructor communication. It is achieved globally using computer network acknowledged as E-Learning, educational revolution caused with the impact upon education all around the world [3]. It is very importance to study the critical success factors of E-Learning system, as well as to find the barriers of the E-Learning education system, and what enables the ELearning education system.
