Using the HOT-fit model to predict the determinants of E-learning readiness in higher education: a developing Country’s perspective

E-learning readiness has been initiated in higher education institutions (HEI) as an attempt to improve institutions’ service delivery. Meeting and managing the expectations of students using e-learning systems to facilitate teaching and learning activities is a prominent way to make HEI competitive...
