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.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: A conceptual framework is essential to ensure that the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for e-Learning implementation is clearly identified to minimize the failure risk. Methods/Statistical Analysis: LearnCube is a conceptual framework proposed to model the CSF in multi-dimensional model. In this paper, we materialized the LearnCube framework to demonstrate that the model covers all the aspect of CSFs accurately. Findings: A pilot study has been conducted and the results agreed that the identified factors have significant influence on the success of EL implementation. In this research, a survey questionnaire is used as the research instrument to collect information due to its inexpensive, efficient, and precise mechanism of data collection. The sampling of respondents is based on purposive sampling, whereby the respondents were selected from the specific group (secondary school students) which is able to provide the data needed for this research. Application/Improvements: The results agreed that the identified factors have significant influence on the success of EL implementation especially on the secondary school based on Economic Asas curriculum.
