Welcome to Electronic Learning in Higher Education – A Reader. This book presents selected readings of research on electronic learning (e-learning) integration and usage in higher educational institutions. The book is structured in four parts.

This study assesses the perceptions and attitudes of students at the University of Ghana towards the use of videos as a medium for teaching and learning. Part Three presents a mapping of the state of e-learning in the University of Ghana. The study uses a qualitative approach to engage stakeholders (Educational Managers, E-learning Experts, Lecturers, Information Technology (IT) Experts and Students) in interviews and focus group discussions to solicit their perspectives on salient e-learning issues. Part Four outlines examples of practical uses of information technology in educational institutions. The book aims at providing an overview of key concepts in e-learning and the challenges in integrating and using e-learning technologies in higher educational institutions in developing countries.
