(2010) Chimbwanda, Doreen Vongai; Nel, K.A.; Vezi, M.F.
Electronic learning, is used to refer to computer based learning or learning online either via the internet or intranet. According to Brockbank (2002) e-learning is essentially the e-commerce of knowledge. This research focused on the e-learning programme that was introduced at the University of Zululand (Unizul) and the impact it had on lecturing staff and students of the Faculty of Commerce, Administration and Law. Literature generally states that the benefits of such a programme outweigh the disadvantages involved. To collect data survey questionnaires and a focus group were used. These were analysed using parametric and non-parametric statistics. Results revealed that the programme was poorly implemented and advertised at the institution as a proportion of the sample of lecturing staff and students did not know what e-learning was or that it was being implemented at Unizul.
