“…With the proliferated use of e-learning tools in education, practitioners and policy makers need to understand the user acceptance of web-based learning systems in order to enhance the students' learning experience (Malapile and Keengwe 2013;Tarhini et al 2014a). In general, an e-learning system is considered to be successful if it can replicate classroom experience and consider the students' needs (Kontkanen et al 2014;Sriram 2014).…”

Despite the prevalence and significance of e-learning in education, there is a dearth of published instruments for educational researchers and practitioners that measure users' acceptance of e-learning. To meet this need, Teo (2010) developed the E-learning Acceptance Measure (ElAM). The main objective of this paper is to validate the ElAM (Teo, 2010) across two cultures, one is from a European country: England, and the other from Asia: Lebanon. A total sample of 461 university students from two private universities in Lebanon (n=209) and one university in England (n= 252) participated in this study. Using confirmatory factor analyses, our findings revealed that the original 3-factor solution for ElAM (Teo, 2010) was supported and found to be adequate for the British sample, whereas the results revealed a bad fit for the Lebanese sample. Despite the differences, the ElAM was found to possess an acceptable level of internal consistency and item reliability for the pooled sample. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed at the end of the paper.

“…An excellent example of the potential and differences of emerging technologies in developing countries is the spread of cell phones throughout Africa over the past 10 years. Cell phone penetration in Africa has increased by over 4,000% in the past 10 years ( 13 ). At the same time, electricity has not reached many of the places where cell phone service exists.…”

The telemedicine department of a hospital is an emerging branch in upcoming hospitals and may become an essential component of every hospital. It basically utilizes the information technologies along with telecommunication systems in order to provide clinical care and assistance. Furthermore, the branch of telemedicine offers significant opportunities for the process of developmental freedom from illness, early death, and preventable diseases. It advances development by providing relevant drugs and the necessary care aimed to alleviate patient suffering. It is also beneficial for patients in rural remote areas who usually do not have adequate access to advanced hospitals. Telemedicine in these remote areas allows for timely treatment of emergency cases. Thus, it contributes towards remote emergency critical care in order to save lives in crucial cases. Additionally, the emerging advances have now enabled telemedicine to transfer large amounts of clinical informatics data including images, and test reports to the specifically specialized health professionals in some serious cases. However, as in the case of many emerging technologies, organizing information and understanding the field has significant challenges. The present review article aimed to discuss important aspects of the field with regard to the better management of patients in clinical settings.

“…Malapile and Keengwe's (2014) research is an example of such analysis for the education policy debate. Without identifying the context in which decisions are being made, the actors involved, and the interests at stake, there is very little opportunity for these topics to change.…”
