Purpose -The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of interface consistency on the learning performance of skilled and novice computer users who are studying with web-based e-learning systems. Design/methodology/approach -A literature review was conducted, and an experiment was set up to collect data on learning performance with respect to interface consistency and e-learning systems. Statistical methods were applied. Findings -Skilled students made more errors than novices when using a physically inconsistent e-learning system. The learning satisfaction level of those skilled with computers was lower than that of novices using such a system. Conceptually consistent systems facilitated skilled students' learning satisfaction. Communicationally consistent systems closed the achievement gap within the novice student group. However, the effect of communicational consistency on skilled students was contradictory. Originality/value -Implications include suggestions for designing web-based interfaces of e-learning systems and library web sites.

“…In the area of e-learning, however, interactivity plays a crucial role in knowledge acquisition and is counted as a core feature for e-students (Cantoni et al, 2004;Chou, 2003). To date, there are very few studies dealing with interactivity issues in e-learning.…”

“…e-Learning can improve retention by varying the types of content (images, sounds, videos and text work together), creating interaction that engages the attention (games, quizzes, etc. ), providing immediate feedback, encouraging interaction with other e-learners and e-instructors (chat rooms, discussion boards, instant messaging and e-mail all offer effective interaction for e-learners) [4] . Online class can be an acceptable alternative to a traditional lecture based class with regard to exam achievement [5].…”

Abstract-Research indicates that successful adoption of information systems (IS) to support business strategy can help the organizations gain superior financial performance. e-Learning can be defined as learning through information and communication technologies and it should include a mechanism for forecasting the actual expected benefits, converted to monetary values, and then comparing the benefits to the projected cost. This study focuses on the relationship between the e-Learning and organizations' financial performance and objective, using secondary financial data draw from the COMPUSTAT. The results indicate these firms significantly reduce cost, increase profitability after adopting e-Learning. The research outcome provides new insights into the productivity paradox associated with eLearning adopters and helps applications of e-Learning across different organizations.

“…In addition, e-learning's flexibility provides personalised content when it is required and needed by the learners (Idachaba and Idachaba, 2012;Karamanis et al, 2004;Eklund et al, 2003). As the learners can control the process and content volume (Chen et al, 2013;Cantoni et al, 2004;Zhang et al, 2004), they are provided with customised training (Ruggeri et al, 2013;Kruse, 2004).…”

This study aims to explicate the strategic utilisation of e-learning is of upmost significance as e-learning plays a pivotal role in the improvement of healthcare learning and knowledge transfer, especially in developing countries and in pursuing of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Rapid technology changes in the learning and knowledge transfer landscape markedly, the swift pace of e-learning leaving healthcare providers no choice if they want to remain competitive. Human capital, an important element in contemporary employee relations scenario, has become the most significant competitive advantage in healthcare delivery systems. As such, healthcare providers need a new strategy for learning and training of their employees. Besides, the knowledge and competencies of healthcare providers are not only vital component but also essential to the quality of care and health of the society. Thus, these rationales exert that today's healthcare providers are embracing e-learning. The benefits of e-learning are extremely compelling. They include a reduction in costs associated with employee travelling; reduction in time spent away from the patients and reduced learning times. Also, this study describes the United Nations University International Institute for Global Health (UNU-IIGH) strategies, best practices and experiences in delivering e-learning to healthcare workforce of developing countries.
