Motivation and Background
We are entering a golden age of e-learning.
E-learning could be at a Tipping Point as
Americans trust in the quality of e-learning
grows, and the number of students who take at
least one online course continues to increase.
Now is the time to make e-learning more
successful. The success of an e-learning system
can be measured in terms of learning outcomes and
learner satisfaction, two dependent constructs
that have been widely accepted in the e-learning
literature. Learning outcomes are measured by
progress on relevant objectives set by the
instructor including progress on gaining factual
knowledge, learning fundamental principles, and
learning to apply what is learned to improve
problem solving. Learner satisfaction is measured
by the degree of satisfaction with perceived
outcomes of taking online courses, courses, and instructors.
This special issue is dedicated to identifying
and effectively managing critical success factors
for e-learning that enable e-learning outcomes to
equal if not surpass those of face-to-face
instruction. Moreover, it seeks to draw on
experience with e-learning systems to provide
direction for future developments in this domain.
Conceptual frameworks, qualitative research, and
empirical studies in the following areas are encouraged
· Review, critical analysis, and/or
meta-analysis of past research to evaluate the
current state of e-learning and to guide future
directions for e-learning development
