Evaluating critical success factors in implementing E-learning system using multi-criteria decision-making

E-learning, a technology-mediated learning approach, is a pervasively adopted teaching/learning mode for transferring knowledge. Some of the motivational factors for its wide adoption are time and location independence, user-friendliness, on-demand service, resource richness, and multi-media and technology driven factors. Achieving sustainability and performance in its delivery is of paramount importance. This research utilizes the critical success factors (CSFs) approach to identify the sustainable E-learning implementation model. Fifteen CSFs have been identified through the literature review, expert opinions, and in-depth interviews. These CSFs have been modeled for interdependence using interpretive structural modeling and Matriced’ Impacts Croise’s Multiplication Appliquée a UN Classement (MICMAC) analysis. Further, the model has been validated through in-depth interviews. The present research provides quantification of CSFs of E-learning in terms of their driving and dependence powers and their classification thorough MICMAC analysis. The E-learning system organizers may focus on improving upon the enablers such as organizational infrastructure readiness, efficient technology infrastructure, appropriate E-learning course design, course flexibility, understandable relevant content, stakeholders’ training, security, access control and privileges, commitment, and being user–friendly and well-organized, in order to enhance the sustainability and performance in E-learning. This study will also help E-learning stakeholders in relocating and prioritizing resources.

Competition dynamically pushes manufacturing ahead. Consequently, design capabilities identified as strategic weapon that offers tremendous opportunities. However, design capabilities development is a stringent challenge to an organization especially in high technology base like automotive. In Malaysia, especially vendors has limited capabilities consequently bound the development steps. There are numerous critical success factors (CSFs) involved in developing successful design capabilities. Thus, makes the development process more complicated. All important CSFs have to be determined and rank accordingly. The CSFs are then applied in a model, using multi criteria decision making approach to facilitate the development process.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, educational institutions were shut down all over the world, which impacted over 60% of students and caused a massive disruption of the education system. The goal of this paper was to identify the critical success factors for E-learning during COVID-19 using the multi-criteria Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) techniques to enhance the educational process. Data were generated by interviewing 69 E-learning managers in educational institutions during COVID-19 based on defined evaluation criteria and E-learning approaches through several channels. We found that technology management, support from management, increased student awareness to use E-learning systems, and demanding a high level of information technology from instructors, students, and universities were the most influential factors for E-learning during COVID-19. Among the five learning systems, blended learning was the most suitable learning system to practice. These results demonstrated that, regardless of how extraordinary the technology is in an educational institution, the readiness of E-learning execution played a large role in boosting the educational process during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investigation about project success has attracted the interest of many researches and practitioners. Determining the critical success factors for procurement of capital projects is a contemporary phenomenon. This paper presents the outcome of an investigation into the critical success factors in Public-Private-Partnerships (P-P-P) for procurement of capital projects using the multi-criteria decision making process. Drawing from the results of responses to a survey of 705 experts involved in P-P-P projects worldwide, the paper presents the critical success factors (CSF) from a list of 47 factors, identified as contributing to the successful delivery of capital projects. The study revealed that owner satisfaction with the delivered project, adherence to schedules/budget/quality/ safety/environmental controls, and appropriate funding mechanisms were predictable factors while lack of legal encumbrances, clearly defined project mission and adequate planning and control techniques were less commonly expected factors.http://dx.doi.org/10.13033/ijahp.v3i2.121

E Learning

The progression of digital technologies and eruption of web incorporation into education proffers a novel trend for higher education institutions to establish web-based environments for teaching and learning. E-learning has become an imperative means for establishing the innovative learning environment for Higher Education in the digital age by offering new flexible learning methods. E-learning is promptly occurring as educational means in Pakistan as in the other global areas, hence utilizing web technologies for the provision of learning in higher education institutions which illustrate the sample acceptance of E-learning system in Pakistani higher education. For establishing E-learning systems, the higher education institutions are required to take broader initiatives for technological infrastructure at higher education institutions. However, a number of factors need serious consideration while designing a successful E-learning framework. The current study aims to determine the CSF (critical success factors) for designing E-learning framework for HEIs (higher education institutions) of Pakistan. Eight studies, already carried out by different researchers providing factors of E-learning framework in varied contexts, were systematically reviewed for deriving critical success factors for E-learning design for higher education institutions of Pakistan. This paper presents an analysis of factors which impact the designing of successful E-learning framework/structure in higher education. Based upon the emphasis in greater chunks of the literature resources, five main classes of factors were considered to be critical by the authors for the successful design of E-learning framework. Conclusively, the five factors i.e. pedagogical factors, technological factors, institutional factors, Design factors and behavioral factors were derived as critical for an effective design of E-learning system. These critical success factors are the main areas of activity that must receive constant and careful attention from the management of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) while planning to design E-learning framework for their institution.
