E-Learning Ecosystem in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

The systematic use of technologies in order to orchestrate learning has become widely used in the past years. Diverse technologies have been applied in a variety of teaching practices: for instance, learning tools that allow you to flip the classroom or monitor other active learning practices. E-learning is learning through the use of technology. It is growing at a rapid pace. Today more organizations are taking up e-learning. While e-learning technology has matured considerably since its inception, there are still many problems that practitioners face when implementing e-learning. This chapter aims to discuss the current challenges and future implications of e-learning systems and how an e-learning ecosystem can help higher education institutions on a large scale. The university is regarded as a center of such an ecosystem due to skilled knowledge providers and technical equipment availability. The ICT tools are very actively used in these initiatives aiming to develop highly demanded skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and complex problem solving.
