learning is being used, implemented and structured effectively. A web-based course<br />
development framework for facilitators or all educators who intend using e-learning<br />
as a teaching medium. A study on technologies used within the e-learning<br />
environment in correlation with multidiscipline subject matter:<br />
• An investigation of e-learning tools in correlation with multidiscipline subject<br />
matter.<br />
• A further study with a larger sample size as well as learners of other South<br />
African institutions using technology-enhanced e-learning as a delivery method<br />
could be useful.<br />
• A study on facilitators’ perceptions on the effectiveness of e-learning tools<br />
used in their course.<br />
Some limitations of this pilot study were:<br />
• Only Information Technology and Information Systems learners were surveyed.<br />
• Learners from other subject areas such as engineering and management might<br />
have different perceptions on effectiveness of e-learning tools.<br />
• The learner, facilitator and technology are not the only pillars in the e-learning<br />
equation. Some of the pillars that were not part of this pilot study are content,<br />
interaction, performance, satisfaction, and learning model (Piccoli et al.,<br />
2001).<br />
