Abstract

Background/Objectives: E-Learning (EL) enable educators to make use of the internet facilities to deliver their teaching online. Yet, this technology has not been fully explored especially in secondary school. Methods/Statistical Analysis: This paper investigates the effectiveness of implementing EL in a secondary school. Firstly, a theoretical conceptual framework for EL will be proposed. The conceptual framework is essential to ensure that the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for EL is clearly identified. Next, we modelled the CSF in cube for multi-dimensional analysis. Findings: The outcome of this paper is (i) a conceptual framework for EL implementation which integrates the CSFs and the demographic variables of the personnel involved in the teaching and learning process (for example, teachers and students), and (ii) inter-relationship among the attributed factors. This certainly helps school to adopt EL CSF by overcoming obstacles, and henceforth, it will reduce the failure risk. Application/Improvements: The CSFs are essential to ensure the effective implementation of EL in any organization. From this paper, one can find the suggestion on area to be focused if EL is to be adopted.
