Abstract:

Existing research on technology enhanced learning focuses on the analysis of educational or cost effectiveness components in isolation, rather than tackling both issues simultaneously in one all-inclusive academic work. The purpose of the present research is to scientifically investigate the elements that constitute critical success factors for both these components forming crucial constituents of a technology enhanced learning system in the current technological and social landscape, and the degree of interactivity amongst them. The systematic literature review method has been used to review the extant literature on the subject area and through a systematic review of 73 articles of the literature, we examine the extent to which a well-designed technology enhanced learning system framework could have far reaching implications by utilizing and merging critical success factors of quality, stakeholder perceptions and cost effectiveness. Additional research is required to better understand what affects the online learning experiences of students and faculty, and the findings we have obtained introduce original contribution to the scientific field of technology enhanced learning management since they clearly show that further work can be performed towards establishing a process for prioritization of critical success factors in technology enhanced learning. The findings of the study indicate that a higher degree of effort should be expended towards prioritizing critical success factors as this will lead towards increased sustainability of technology enhanced learning system design. Through our work we aim to contribute to the exploration of future avenues for research towards reinforcing the sustainability of technology enhanced learning system design.
