E-LEARNING IN SOUTH AFRICAN INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING

The book reflects a conducted study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of E-learning in South African Institutions of Higher learning in compliance to the direction of lecturers’ knowledge and skills of e-pedagogy constructivism theoretical perspectives and improving quality of teaching and learning. This was an attempt to solve challenges experienced by Higher Education institutions in South African universities during the implementation of e learning programmes. In past few years most South African institutes of higher education private and public have since adopted e learning as an approach to teaching and learning. The results indicated that E-learning in South African Institutions of Higher Education is only effective resting on improving the quality of teaching if lectures knowledge and skill in implementation of e-pedagogy constructivism theory of learning in a blended form is high. Therefore it is recommended lecturers get involved in e-learning innovation programmes in terms of policy making process and implementation in order to acquire more e- pedagogical skills.
