EXPLORING DETERMINANTS OF MOODLE 1.9 ADOPTION FOR ONLINE LEARNING ZONES

Abstract

The intensifying competition in higher education, coupled with the need to provide accessible and diverse educational resources, has spurred the adoption of e-learning, a modern approach to training and education. E-learning, driven by information and communications technology, aims to enhance individual and group learning processes and, in turn, improve organizational performance goals. Internationally recognized higher institutions are increasingly using e-learning as a strategic tool to gain a competitive edge over their peers. E-learning's strengths lie in its capacity to facilitate material delivery without time or distance constraints, foster the creation of learning communities, and offer a wide range of learning resources. Additionally, it promotes global mobility among students. However, the literature also points to certain drawbacks in the implementation of e-learning. This paper explores the multifaceted landscape of e-learning, investigating its potential benefits and challenges in higher education, with a focus on enhancing organizational performance and maintaining a competitive edge in the evolving academic landscape.
