Abstract

This article studies the key factors underpinning the success of e-Learning on corporate intranet. Indeed, theoretically, e-Learning has many avantages such as time and location flexibility for learners and teachers, the possibility to personnalize the learning process, the potential for establishment of a community of collaboration between learners and facilities for assessing and monitoring them. However in practice, e-Learning projects post rather mixed outcomes and record very high dropout rates. This raises the question of the key factors that influence the success of corporate e-Learning projects. To address this concern in the particular case of corporate intranet e-Learning projects, we have proposed a theoretical framework that combines the Davis model for user acceptance of a technology, and the Brillet model for effective implementation thereof. Our analysis shows clearly that organizational measures are key factors for the success of e-Learning projects. This theoretical result is confirmed by an experimental study to introduce e-learning in a company in Cameroon.
