Abstract
Planning for the implementation of quality and sustainable e-leaning programmes requires an
understanding of the impact of information and communication technology on the higher education
market and on current teaching and learning practices in order to identify critical success factors that
have to be addressed in an e-learning strategy. New e-learning models are continually emerging as
new research findings in the area of e-learning become available. E-learning models are attempts to
develop frameworks to address the concerns of the learner and the challenges presented by the
technology so that online learning can take place effectively. In the strategic planning process these
models provide useful tools for evaluating existing e-learning initiatives or determining critical success
factors. This article explores the reasons why universities are driven to implement e-learning and
reviews three selected e-learning models. The aim is to identify the critical issues in the e-learning
models that have to be addressed in a strategic planning process for the implementation of e-learning
or the adjustment of existing e-learning initiatives.
