The questions this study asks are motivated by a desire to uncover best practices in achieving success with the use of the Internet in higher education. Our objective is to understand the larger connection to institutional strategy as well as the necessary operational ingredients. Therefore, it is a study for leaders and practitioners. Some of the key motivating questions we had at the outset were: • Are there common factors for success? What are they? • Why do institutions move online? Are there particular conditions under which e-Learning will be successful? • What is the role of leadership and by whom? What level of investment or commitment is necessary for success? • How do institutions evaluate and measure success? • What are the most important and successful factors for student support and faculty support? • Which online delivery format is most favored and why? • What are some of the areas of best practice and key innovations so far and what can be expected for the future? • Where do institutions get stuck? What are the key challenges? • Where will successful institutions be placing their emphasis in the future with respect to Internet-supported learning? • How far along are institutions in their adoption of Internet-supported learning and where will they go next? |
