As schools continue to explore the transition from traditional
education to teaching and learning online, new instructional design
frameworks are needed that can support with the development of
e-learning content. The e-learning frameworks examined within this
book have eight dimensions: (1) institutional, (2) pedagogical, (3)
technological, (4) interface design, (5) evaluation, (6)
management, (7) resource support, and (8) ethical. Each of these
dimensions contains a group of concerns or issues that need to be
examined to assess and develop an institutions e-capability in
order to introduce the best e-learning practices. Challenges and
Opportunities for the Global Implementation of E-Learning
Frameworks presents global perspectives on the latest best
practices and success stories of institutions that were able to
effectively implement e-learning frameworks. An e-learning
framework is used as a guide to examine e-learning practices in
countries around the globe to reflect on opportunities and
challenges for implementing quality learning. In this book,
therefore, tips for success factors and issues relevant to failures
will be presented along with an analysis of similarities and
differences between several countries and educational lessons.
While highlighting topics such as course design and development,
ICT use in the classroom, and e-learning for different subjects,
this book is ideal for university leaders, practitioners in
e-learning, continuing education institutions, government agencies,
course developers, in-service and preservice teachers,
administrators, practitioners, stakeholders, researchers,
academicians, and students seeking knowledge on how e-learning
frameworks are being implemented across the globe.
