E-Learning is global.
E-Learning is here to stay.
Predictions for 2009
I am currently editing a Special Issue of the Educational Technology Magazine entitled “E-Learning in the Middle East.”
Slide 3
E-Learning will not be successful if we do not understand “What does it take to provide flexible learning environments for learners worldwide?“ I found that numerous factors help to create a meaningful flexible learning environment.
Today, I would like to discuss:• A Global Framework for E-Learning• Global E-Learning Initiatives (Digital Bangladesh – A new initiative) • Q and A
Slide 4
A high quality e-learning system
must be meaningful to all stakeholders groups:
• Learners• Instructors• Technical & Support Staff• Organization
Slide 5
An e-learning system is more likely to be
meaningful to learners when it is • easily accessible• clearly organized• well written• authoritatively presented• learner‑centered• affordable• efficient• flexible, and has a • facilitated learning environment.
Slide 6
When learners display a high level of participation and success in meeting a course's goals and objectives, this can make e-learning meaningful to instructors.
Slide 7
When learners enjoy all available support services provided in the course without any interruptions, it
makes support services staff happy as they strive to provide easy-to-use, reliable services.
Slide 8
Finally, e-learning is meaningful to an organization when it has a sound return-on-investment (ROI), a moderate to high level of learners' satisfaction with both the quality of instruction and all support services, and a low drop-out rate.
Slide 9
Today, I would like to introduce a Framework which I believe will help us identify important criteria for quality E-Learning.

Slide 12
Stakeholder Focused E-LearningPut each stakeholder group (learners, instructors, technical staff, etc.) at the center of the octagon and ask questions along the eight dimensions. By doing this exercise, you will be able to understand critical e-learning issues for each group.
