Authors Info & Claims
Published:23 November 2015Publication History

ABSTRACT

Recently, technology has been extensively used to facilitate our life. It is necessary to take advantage of it in the education field to take delivery of information in spite of distances. Consequently, a new figure of learning is used; e-learning. It is critical to put into practice a successful and effective e-learning that meets up the students' needs and achieves their requirements, therefore, researchers have tried to conclude many factors that donates in achieving such kind of education. This paper proposes an e-learning model that consists of nineteen critical success factors classified in five dimensions. The proposed model is empirically tested using a sample of 676 respondents from three different universities in Jordan.
