Success ratio of e-learning education in Middle East region

Abstract

E-learning is the new trend of web-based education for individuals with online facilities.

The development and upcoming implication of E-learning are concerned with the infrastructures and motivational factors of the users. The E-learning system concerning its innovations in the region of the Middle East can be evaluated through several success factors. There is a common misconception about technological advancement in the Middle East, especially in KSA. The study aims to explore the success ratio of E-learning in the middle east; especially in KSA. The important factors governing the success ratio of Elearning such a perceived ease of use is evaluated with the help of important theoretical frameworks. The approach of the study is to evaluate the qualitative information present on the subject of discussion. The literature for the research is reviewed in terms of relevance and contribution in the field of E-learning and web-based education. The results articulate findings in terms of the factors and elements that determine the progressive growth and also the hindrances in the path of E-learning for countries in the Middle East. Theoretical models such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) utilized by authors to evaluate the critical success factors have also been evaluated in the research. Moreover, human factors such as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are also reviewed in the light of theories and theoretical frameworks. In conclusion, the success ratio of E-learning is discussed and explored in terms of the critical success factors, theoretical evidence, and Human factors. The study encompasses the position of web-based education in Middle Eastern countries with a special focus on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
