Abstract

This paper explores the process of the implementation of e-learning strategies in higher educational institutions. It determines that the adoption and implementation of e-learning strategies occur in accordance with a combination of methods employed to diffuse the innovations. Key elements of the diffusion of innovations theory were used to identify the ways in which e-learning activities are being integrated into practices. The study employs the qualitative method to illustrate the e-learning implementation panorama. The researcher attended as an ob-server the meetings of the top management groups, leaders and strategic planners, hardware and software experts, instructional designers, participants from different schools, as well as course participants.
