Abstract

A major problem that most researchers in developing countries face is that of data availability. The UAE is experiencing advances in many areas; however, availability of raw data is not one of those areas. We are interested in measuring the level of response and adaptation as well as the correctness of the practice of e-learning in non-educational organizations in the UAE. We reviewed the literature to learn about the state-of the art of global practices and experiences of e-learning in non-educational organizations. Unfortunately, we were unable to find any reference to similar work that was done for the UAE market. This paper presents factors of implementing E-learning in non-educational organizations and how does that apply to the UAE culture. UAE based survey with a thorough analysis of the results are presented too.
