Critical Factors for the Success of Web-Based Learning

2. Literature Review

Researchers have identified different CSFs in e-learning. We cite them in chronological order as historical review.

McAlister, Rivera, & Hallam (1999) presented about how important is the design during the implementation process of these types of programs. Twelve questions about e-learning education are given to an educational institution, in order to reassure the quality and the success of the e-learning education. The results indicated that the teachers should be familiar with the latest technological advances that they are going to use in their courses. Moreover, frequent interactive communication with their student should be their primary factor in order to pursue a successful e-learning education by replacing the “face to face” communication during the traditional classroom teaching.
