Abstract

Although e-learning has grown steadily in recent years, the quality of its products, processes and services has been an issue of concern. This is much more so in emerging economies like Kenya that face numerous challenges in their efforts to design and implement quality e-learning environments. There is need to establish context-specific frameworks for evaluating e-learning quality in emerging economies, where implementation and delivery of instruction through technology is still in its infancy stages. The main purpose of this conceptual paper was to stir debate on how emerging economies could determine context relevant e-learning quality dimensions and methods of integrating e-learning quality assurance mechanisms in their institutions of higher learning. The concept of e-learning quality and a few broad ways of improving it in the context of emerging economies were discussed.
