Institution's Role in Sustainability of the e-Learning Application

摘要

The e-learning is seen as an efficient tool in the reform of higher education and modernisation of the universities to the needs of the 21st century. In order to implement ICT and e-learning technologies, universities need to create a vision of the desired end state and develop an e-learning strategy with proposed measures in that direction. Traditional, research oriented universities, like the University of Zagreb, have to find the way to implement new technologies in traditional values of the university education and ensure the success of the set goals in the implementation process. The aim of this paper is to describe institution's role in the e-learning application and analyse situation of the e-learning implementation at the University of Zagreb. Implementation process was monitored through surveys which provided data on starting position and views on e-learning and present status on e-learning application five years later. Based on received results, the university management is able to get a general picture on the implementation process, detect weak points and set the next steps in the systematic implementation process.
