“…The development of an online educational system for a university course, seminar or corporate training can be justified as: It is easier for a large number of participants to successfully and more completely acquire educational content. It involves fewer expenses and less time for those students who have to travel to the class venue. It gives a better impression of the teacher/instructor and the institution that organises the course. It results in lower costs, which make the time and effort financially worthwhile for the institutions. It offers a chance to master new educational technologies and be part of contemporary trends. Investing in e‐education is profitable in the long term.As Andrade et al have stated, the market targeted by WBL has been variously defined to include the following groups: working adults who do not have the desire or resources to attend on‐campus programs; adults in jobs where their employers (e.g. the high technology sector) cannot afford to provide long leaves of absence; adults in developing countries or isolated communities who do not otherwise have access to brick and mortar institutions; single parents or economically disadvantaged adults who have to work full time; working adults who travel too much to attend regular programs; undergraduate students who need or want an alternative to on‐campus programs for economic, social, personal or practical reasons. …”

Modern corporations, institutions, universities and schools consider e‐education as a way of educating larger groups of students in less time and of reducing the use of various resources. Since setting up a web‐system for e‐education requires a significant amount of time, as well as the necessity of having a computer and other resources, the assessment of the goals and desired effects of the online system should be made in the preparation phase. It is important to highlight that only putting course contents on the web, without using appropriate pedagogical models and principles, without appropriate means of communication between participants and instructors and without the use of modern information technologies to present the learning content is not enough to fulfil educational goals. It should be noted that, after the substantial initial investment and excitement about the possibilities of e‐education, many sources of difficulty and dissatisfaction regarding online learning have emerged. Most e‐learning studies propose possible improvements in course material, with little attempt to explore the learners' dimension, context, pedagogical considerations or technology aspects. In this article, we have analysed the aspects that need to be considered when designing an e‐learning platform for engineering education and we have proposed a methodology, based on the Quality Function Deployment approach, useful for the preparation phase of distance learning systems. Finally, we have explained the impact of new information technologies (Web3D technologies) on online engineering education and highlighted how these tools have been implemented in the e‐learning platforms for mechanical engineering that we have developed.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

He defines the constructivist learning environments to conceive a problem, a question, or an example as the centre of the environment [11].…”

Abstract-It is still the greatest hot issue about efficiency on learning. This study is part of a broader research approach concerning the investigation of students' opinions and aims to study adult distance education students' perspective on critical success factors of e-learning. Based on a comprehensive study by Selim (2007) grouped "Critical Success Factor" into four categories: (1) instructor, (2) student, (3) information technology, and (4) university support.The participants are selected from National Open University (NOU) in Taiwan. The NOU is not only the first school to implement distance education in Taiwan, but also the students are all adult. During seminar training be teach by technology, learning and instruction. The distance education implement by teaching of TV and broadcast early, developed by way of Video On Demand (VOD) later.In a few of research about e-learning, especially study on critical success factors of e-learning, this study tries to discuss students' perspective. This study has two main objectives. The first one is to analysis the difference in aspects of students' perspective on critical success factors of different personal backgrounds. The second objective is to comparative the results of Selim's research in 2007.In order to generalize the data with demographic and focus on calculation, to discuss the differences between "Instructor", "Student", "Information Technology", and "University Support" is investigated by a one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA).The research result includes: (1) Students' perspective of distance education on critical success factors of e-Learning are good instructor and good website. (2) Both of them have to be usefully and friendly. (3) Students in distance education need more efficiency on e-Learning. (4) The website should be easily, clearly, sufficiently, and pleasantly. We expect more research to investigate the thoughts of students and teachers about critical success factors of e-learning in the future.
