E-learning readiness analysis (ERA): An ehealth case study of e-learning readiness

Abstract

Electronic learning is seen as a good solution for organisations that deal with fast changing knowledge and for reducing the cost of training. E-learning is a good opportunity for companies but needs to be well prepared because it takes often high investment costs. That is why it is important for a company to know if it is e-ready. E-readiness is already well covered in literature and several models are suggested. We used these models to develop an e-learning readiness measurement instrument and questionnaire. We used our instrument to check whether the Flemish hospitals were e-ready for e-learning.
