Role of Contextual Factors in using eLearning Systems for Higher Education in Developing Countries
Journal Title: International Journal of Computational Engineering and Management IJCEM - Year 2013, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
The same basic computing facilities are available in most of the Asian countries like Pakistan; however it is never possible to attain the same outputs from digital systems working either in public or private sector. This difference emerges from the impacts of contextual factors which can make or break the objectives of a digital move in any sector including higher education. There are personal, organizational, and social contexts which create a particular culture or lifestyle of the inhabitants. If these contexts are in favor, the digital revolution happens in a spell of time but if context is either neutral or rival then the developers and users of eLearning systems have to take account of all the possible influences emerging from any context while developing, implementing and using the new digital devices in a particular work environment. This paper extracts evidence from the literature to uphold the arguments tabled in this abstract.
