Abstract
In the implementation of e-learning in an organization, one important factor to consider is the characteristics of the end-users, in particular, their perceptions, preferences and experiences in e-learning. In this paper, adult learning principles and e-learning practices are explored. Specific characteristics of e-learners are recommended by experts to ensure the success of the implementation of e-learning.
This project studies the learner perception in various aspects of e-learning, namely the content, collaborations, evaluation and performance support, technical support and community of practice. Results of the survey showed that the adults in the organization were generally positive about e-learning and were ready for most of the aspects except in the area of online collaboration.
The analysis of the results of this study is followed by implications and recommendations for the implementation of e-learning in this organization. A set of guidelines is drawn at the end of the paper to bring successful implementation closer to reality for this company.
