Abstract

The adoption of E-learning systems has been associated with various challenges to the users, particularly the Higher Learning Institutions (HEI). During the Covid19 pandemic, the majority of the HEIs were subjected to lockdowns that resulted in the stimulation of using e-learning to deliver learning materials and perform assessments. This adoption of e-learning technologies has been associated with several challenges that span from the unfamiliarity of the technologies to the implementation or usage challenges. This study employed a qualitative research method which involved conducting interviews with the lecturers, students and ICT experts to gain an understanding of the key issues associated with the use of E-learning systems at Tanzanian HEIs. Among others, this study has identified the key distance learning alternatives, the challenges which are associated with the use of such techniques and the impacts of using e-learning on HEIs.
