Evaluating the Effectiveness of E-Learning Through SWOT Analysis

Abstract

E-learning is a key element in modern teaching methods and techniques. The quality and properties of e-resources, materials used and information platforms for e-learning can significantly have an impact on the entire learning process. Therefore, it is important to investigate and analyze the effectiveness and problems facing e-learning. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of e-learning in higher education, using SWOT analysis as a tool for strategic evaluation. The analysis gives an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the process, which allows to define good practices and guidelines for improving e-learning processes. The study is based on a combination of analysis of scientific literature and an online survey conducted among 32 school and university professors. The analysis of the scientific literature covers research in the field of e-learning, for a period of the last 6 years. The survey includes questions related to the applicability, effectiveness and problems of e-learning. The results show that e-learning provides high flexibility, accessibility and the opportunity to individualize the learning process, but faces challenges related to learner motivation, limited social interaction and technological barriers. Based on the analysis, strategic measures are proposed to increase the efficiency and sustainability of the e-learning environment.
