• The Global E-Learning Framework
  E-Learning can be viewed as an innovative approach for delivering well-designed, learner-centered, interactive, and facilitated learning environment to anyone, anyplace, anytime, by utilising the attributes and resources of various digital technologies along with other forms of learning materials suited for open and distributed learning environment. A full chapter by Khan

  This article considers a number of reasons for the failure of e-learning, and then proposes a model (Khan’s e-learning framework) for integrating learning and business processes to enable sustained organisational learning. By Johannes C. Cronje.
• FACULTY DEVELOPMENT FOR E-LEARNING: A MULTI-CAMPUS COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE (COP) APPROACH
  Faculty development is a critical process, enabling instructors to remain abreast of new discipline specific content and innovations in the scholarship of teaching and learning. The explosion of online higher education and advances in technology provide examples and rationale for why faculty development for e-learning is needed. Literature on faculty development and e-learning is reviewed and a multi-campus faculty development program using distance technology and a community of practice model for nursing educators will be described. Successful strategies, barriers and an evaluation of the multi-campus faculty development model experience will be presented in a format that allows for replication across disciplines.. The Flexible Framework for E-Learning by Badrul Khan was selected. By Janet Resop Reilly, Christine Vandenhouten, Susan Gallagher-Lepak, University of Wisconsin, Green Bay and Penny Ralston-Berg, The Pennsylvania State University.
• Key Success Factors in E-Learning in Medical Education
  As in many countries, Medical Education (ME) is offered in three levels including Undergraduate ME, Graduate ME, and Continuing ME. Informationtechnology development has provided a suitable chance for ME. E-learning in ME is growing more and more. The present study seeks to determine the key success factors (KSF) in E-learning in medical fields
• Modified Khan eLearning Framework for the Iraqi Higher Education by Amer Saleem Elameer
• E-Learning in Jordanian Universities, the Case ff Al-Hashemite University
  This study explored the case of Hashemite University in Jordan and the implementation of their e-learning system. The study focused on two objectives: the first is to explore four dimensions of Khan’s framework; the pedagogical, interface design, technological, and the evaluation dimensions. The second objective is to evaluate the e-learning system at HU for two dimensions: the pedagogical and interface design, and using different evaluation techniques. By by Emad Abu-Shanab, Yousra Harb
• WHAT DO LEARNERS AND INSTRUCTORS OF ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS THINK ABOUT ETHICS IN E- LEARNING? A CASE STUDY FROM ANADOLU UNIVERSITY
  Ethics in education means, granting educational opportunities to anyone on equal basis; disregarding nationality, gender, ideological differences or mental/physical disabilities. Through this perspective, online learning environments have an important potential, owing to their nature to reach international audiences. Considering the number and diversity of students in e-Learning environments, policies balancing different expectations and studying how the participants perceive ethics in online learning environments are important. During online courses, like in the face-to-face classes; students have to show respect to their instructors and course mates. Taking ethical principles into consideration in e-Learning leads to (1) respect and tolerance among participants, (2) civil relations and interaction based on pre-determined rules. The study uses Khan’s Framework’s ethical considerations for guidance and analysis.
• Focus On Stakeholders by Badrul Khan.
  An e-learning system is successful when it is meaningful to all stakeholder groups, including instructors, trainers, learners, support staff, and the institution. An e-learning system is meaningful to learners when it is easily accessible, well-designed, learner-centered, affordable, efficient, flexible, and has a facilitated learning environment. When learners display a high level of participation and success in meeting a course’s goals and objectives, this can make e-learning meaningful to instructors. In turn, when learners enjoy all available support services provided in the course without any interruptions, it makes support staff happy as they strive to provide easy-to-use, reliable services. Finally, an e-learning system is meaningful to institutions when it has a sound return on investment (ROI), a moderate to high level of learner satisfaction with both the quality of instruction and all support services, and a low drop-out rate.

• The future of E-learning as an educational innovation: Factors influencing project success and failure by Alexander Romiszowski
  This paper presents a short literature review on critical factors for the success and failure of E-Learning initiatives, as revealed by the experience of researchers and practitioners in the USA. It also presents a brief analysis of the relative success of earlier educational technology innovations, viewed from the perspective of accepted theories of Diffusion of Innovations in society. In some respects, many prior educational technology innovations have followed a theoretically uncharacteristic trajectory of enthusiastic acceptance followed by widespread rejection. Will this be the future scenario for E-learning as an innovation? And if such tendencies do appear in the pioneering “early adopter” countries such as the USA, how many other countries a little later in the process of E-Learning adoption, such as Brazil, avoid the mistakes of the pioneers?
• ONLINE LEARNING IN  ERGONOMICS AND OCCUPATIONAL RISK PREVENTION: FACING THE URGENCY AND DIVERSIFICATION OF A MASSIVE LEARNING DEMAND by Nuria Talavera
• One of the most well-known e-learning frameworks is Khan’s octagonal framework
  (Khan 2001), which classify web-based learning issues in eight main categories: institutional, pedagogical, technological, interface design, evaluation, management, resource support and ethical. The purpose of the framework is to avoid relevant factors be overlooked in the design and development of online learning experiences. Khan’s octagonal framework shows the scope and multidisciplinary character of the online learning field, which is being studied from different perspectives and with different goals. In this paper, the eight main categories proposed by khan have been reshaped into four main  perspectives: organisational, pedagogical, technological and socio-cultural.

• Technical and Pedagogical Comparative Study of E-Learning Platforms for Open and Distance Learning by Djamal Amalou
  The aim of this development project report is to be a guideline for educational institution who wants to create an E-learning based environment, to develop pedagogy on the net, to accelerate the development of web-based courses or develop a resources centre for cooperative work with other institutions. The necessity of implementing E-learning platforms is seen as a first step towards these previous objectives. Being a pre study for a long-term project, this report start by addressing the needs and asking key questions before any move is made. The structure of this report uses Khan’s orthogonal framework. It contains a detailed description of its dimensions such as institutional, pedagogical, ethical and technical. The pedagogical dimension not only describe the classical approaches such the constructivism, behaviourism…and their important value in the teaching of ICT but focuses on the trendy blended learning. This new approach is analysed under various point like the dimension of the blend, the benefits and its challenges.

• How’s your eLearning? By Badrul H. Khan
  About two years back, I asked a friend if his institution was doing any eLearning. He said, “Oh, yes, we have an LMS and we are doing all sorts of eLearning stuff.” I said, “Having an LMS d’es not necessarily mean that you are creating meaningful eLearning.” He asked, “Meaningful eLearning-what do you mean?”
