<p>This research investigates organisational readiness for implementing organisational elearning systems (OES) in the Forestry Research and Development Agency (FORDA) of Indonesia. The study measures the level of organisational readiness for OES implementation at FORDA; and determines factors that need to be addressed in order to implement successful OES at FORDA, in a context with no prior OES knowledge. A mixed-methods approach was employed in this study. A cross-sectional survey was delivered in two forms: online and paper-based. The survey sample consisted of 288 employees of FORDA (policy makers, researchers, research assistants, and general employees). Statistical measures - reliability analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression - were conducted using SPSS version 16.0. As a complementary method, 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 policy makers at FORDA. A comprehensive organisational e-learning readiness instrument (COERI) was developed to assess the level of organisational readiness for OES from the perspective of all target respondents (policy makers, e-learning providers, facilitators, and learners). The study proposes twelve readiness dimensions: technological skills; positive online learning style; negative online learning style; equipment/infrastructure; attitude; human resources; environmental; positive cultural; negative cultural; financial affordability; financial availability; and financial possibility.  Overall, to implement successful OES at FORDA the results show that only five areas are ready but need a few improvements (equipment/infrastructure, attitude, environment, positive online culture, and financial availability); five areas are not ready of which three areas need some improvements (technological skills, positive online learning style, and human resources), and two areas need major improvements (financial affordability and financial possibility). Factors that affect organisational readiness and need to be developed further in order to implement successful OES are: personal characteristics (age, education, gender, and computer experience), Internet access, central support, finance, environment, face-to-face contact, human resources capacity, English proficiency, and prior e-learning knowledge. Further exploration is required to achieve a more reliable instrument and to improve the applicability of COERI to similar research contexts.</p>

The Government

The quick spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe has seriously affected all aspects of individuals’ lives including the educational sector. In response to this pandemic in Malaysia, the government implemented a Movement Control Order (MCO) on 18 March 2020, where the whole country was put on lockdown. Yet, the teaching and learning activities had to continue during this period, a process that was carried out through a full reliance on e-learning. This paper attempted to investigate the level of e-learning technological readiness among English language teachers to utilize e-learning in teaching during the MCO in Malaysia. A total of 68 English language teachers responded to an online cross-sectional survey that measured technological skills readiness based on Chapnick’s (2000) e-learning readiness model. Results showed that during the MCO in Malaysia, English language teachers were technologically ready to use e-learning in teaching. However, these findings contradict the latest reports that highlight a number of challenges faced by Malaysian teachers in conducting online classes. This inconsistency could be attributed to the limitations identified in the existing e-learning surveys and questionnaires that deal with extremely limited aspects of technological readiness. Hence, this research stresses the urgent need to develop up-to-date scales that can comprehensively address the various aspects of the advanced technological skills that should be mastered by teachers and educators, especially in this era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0).

Online Learning Readiness

Since a few years ago, blended learning has been implemented by UNUSA. However, until now, the implementation is still not optimal. Various obstacles, such as network access, availability of devices, and unclear rules in implementing online learning, still occur. Readiness analysis is one of the critical success in online learning implementation.  The main objective of this research is to conduct online learning readiness studies at UNUSA. This research was carried out in three main stages: the preparation of measurement instruments, data collection, and analysis of readiness level. The method used is descriptive research method with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The Seakow & Samson e-learning readiness model with five dimensions of readiness, namely policy, technology, financial, human resource, and infrastructure, is used in this study. The result of this study shows that that UNUSA's level of readiness in implementing online learning is in the Ready category, requiring improvement to implement it with a readiness score of 3.68. The dimension with the highest score is technology, which is 3.84. Meanwhile, infrastructure and policy scored 3.77 and 3.72, respectively. The human resources dimension has a readiness score of 3.6. In contrast, the dimension with the lowest score is the financial dimension.

The Relationship

The rapid growth of e-learning has greatly influenced the educational system across the globe. Personality traits and learning styles are both likely to play considerable roles in influencing academic achievement of e-learners. Based on this foundation, a study was designed that attempts to establish the missing links between personality traits, learning styles, and academic performance of students enrolled in various e-learning courses. University students (N=144) completed the Big Five Inventory (BFI), Index of Learning Style (ILS) and reported their grade point average (GPA). One of the Big Five traits i.e. extraversion was positively related with all four learning styles whereas neuroticism was negatively related with all four learning styles. It has also been revealed that GPA was positively correlated with three personality traits and was negatively correlated with neuroticism. Similarly GPA was positively correlated with three learning styles. Finally, there were no significant differences in learning styles and personality traits of e-learners in terms of gender. Implications of these results are expected to help academics, managers, and policy makers for implementation of future e-learning strategies in Pakistan.

E Learning

Online learning or e-learning is a growing industry, whose beginnings date back to the 1980s and even before. The model of learning in history has always been quite simple. Until the early 2000s, education took place in a class of students with a teacher leading the class. The physical presence was not in question, and any other type of learning was, at best, questionable. Then the Internet appeared, and the rest is part of the story. On the other hand, the development of computer applications to ensure this type of education is also growing, but the problem is that each application is developed according to a given technology. Developing an e-learning application for each technology requires a lot of human resources and technical knowledge and always requires a migration of each application developed to other implementation platforms as needed. the model-driven architecture approach offers full or partial development of an e-learning application while remaining independent of the implementation platform of this application. Therefore, to solve this problem we propose a development of an e-learning application according to a model-driven architecture approach.
