| description | The global impact of E-learning is felt by many nations including Malaysia. Hence, ELearning
has been included as one of its primary activities in the country’s national
Information Communications Technology (ICT) agenda. In planning for the future, it was
imperative that the Malaysian government knew the level of readiness in the country, in
particular among policy-makers, providers, enablers and receivers. It is important as Elearning
has been viewed as a way to further the goals of its national education agenda.
A nation-wide study to determine the state of E-learning readiness in the country was
conducted in 2004. This paper reports the findings of the study jointly conducted by the
Ministry of Energy, Water and Communication and the Open University Malaysia in
particular among 977 enablers of E-Learning. The e-readiness as perceived by the
respondents was examined from several dimensions: learner readiness, management
readiness, personnel readiness, content readiness, technical readiness, environmental
readiness, cultural readiness and financial readiness. The findings of the study and how
it has impacted on some of the government’s decision for further development of higher
education is included in the paper. (Author's abstract) |
