Proposed ELR Model for E-Learning Readiness Evaluation Based on McKensey 7S Framework

Abstract

One of the utilization of ICT in education including higher education is known as electronic learning (e-learning). E-learning can be interpreted as the delivery of learning content or learning experiences electronically based multimedia computer. Utilization of e-learning well can improve learning outcomes optimally. Lots of advantages e-learning utilization but the failure in the implementation of e-learning is still common despite being supported with large funds and preparation. One of the causes of elearning failure is the lack of readiness level information in e-learning implementation. ELR model can be used to measure the level of organizational readiness and know which factors of readiness are still weak so that require improvement or improvement. This study aims to propose ELR models from several best practice ELR models over the last 10 years. The research method used is by synthesis and mapping the readiness factors into the McKensey 7s framework so as to produce an intact model consisting of dimensions and factors. The result of the research shows that there are 17 ELR factors which are psychological, sociological, environmental, human resource, financial, knowledge & skill, infrastructure, content, management, leadership, culture, policy, teacher experience, training, organization structure, technical support and laws & regulation. The overall factors are mapped with the McKensey 7S framework into 7 dimensions: strategy, structure, systems, style/culture, staff, skills and shared values.
