Abstract. The introduction of e-learning, with the easy availability of course materials and related resources, has had a major impact on students and lecturers in higher education. However, few studies have been conducted to measure the information quality of e-learning on educational institutions in Saudi Arabia. This paper looks at the issues of using e-learning systems and the effect on higher education institutions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The findings of this study show positive attitudes towards e-learning systems in higher education, as well as learning improvement and the positive effect of employing a collaborative style of e-learning.Keywords: e-Learning; IS success; IS impact; Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Information Quality IntroductionOne of the emerging technologies in education is collaborative e-learning, which plays a significant role in the growing number of students enrolled at universities, especially in Saudi Arabia. With the increased number of students, many higher-education institutions have introduced e-learning systems to improve the delivery of course content and enhance access to courses and subjects by both students and teachers [1][2][3]. Collaborative e-learning environments are also advantageous. Tomsic & Suthers [4] believe that the information sharing associated with social networks, can help establish new collaborative ties for students, and can have a more significant impact on learning than interaction and frequency of exposure to data, which is found in traditional systems. Collaborative e-learning environments are based on collaborative environments and are built on the research conducted on how students learn [5]. In collaborative e-learning environments, information technology facilitates increased interaction between the learners, promoting the exchange of knowledge. Collaborative e-learning environments can offer learners extensive opportunities for open learning, controlled by the learners themselves.

Abstract-Several governments are trying to implement and enhance reliable electronic government services all around the world to decrease time spent waiting at government offices. This innovative digital interaction, if adopted and deployed, can empower the next generation. Most of the previous research focused on developed countries, while developing countries are facing many complex obstacles related to socio-economic development, ineffective ICT strategies, and implementation challenges to meet electronic government project goals. We hope this review will help to give a better understanding about these elementary obstacle factors, which are related to infrastructure, political, economic, social, and legal issues, and users' perspectives. This study also provides suitable strategies to overcome these obstacles, to handle such issues in a better way. The nature of this study is an exploratory research has generated a list of possible strategies. It also supports policy makers, decision-makers, and government officials for the positive implementation and improvement of electronic projects.
