Although most enablers acknowledge personal awareness of E-learning,many respondents lamented the lack of publicity, institutionalinvolvement and government support for this mode of learning. Thus, byway of showing that there was a general lack of readiness, enablers feltthat there was a need for strong policies to be put in place and for therecognition of E-learning initiatives. Further, enablers commented on theneed to disseminate more information on E-learning, and for moreliterature on converting traditional modes of learning, or incorporating E-learning into current day educational programmes. Most enablers feltthat there would be more environmental readiness if the governmentplayed a bigger role in making E-learning a more acceptable andrecognized form of becoming qualified for a particular field of work. Tothat end, there were many calls for a national policy on E-learning.Cultural ReadinessWith reference to cultural readiness (Table 41), 86 percent thought that E-learning is an efficient means of disseminating information and 85.6percent agreed that E-learning is an advanced mode of teaching andlearning. However, 87.9 percent of the enablers believed that the personaltouch is important in the learning process when using technology for E-learning. In line with that, 84.6 percent were of the opinion that the mosteffective method of learning is face-to-face and 76.5 percent said that theteacher is still the best information provider.TABLE 41.
