Eom, Sean B.; Ashill, Nicholas – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2016
A stream of research over the past decade that identifies predictors of e-learning success suggests that there are several critical success factors (CSFs) that must be managed effectively to fully realize promise for e-learning. Grounded in constructivist learning theories, this study advances previous work on CSFs in university online education.…
