Comparative study of E-learning experiences: A case study of Nigeria, South Africa and United States

Abstract

We are in a society where availability of open courseware and countless internet-based online programmes are run by universities across the globe. The world is moving from the traditional face-to-face classroom teaching to a virtual classroom. There are concerns however; that this paradigm shift is limited by the understanding on what quality/standard is needed for a good e-learning resource. This concern has prompted the need to compare e-learning experiences in United States, South Africa and Nigeria so as to encourage developing countries to improve on this innovative approach to learning.
