The cost readiness of implementing e-learning

The main aim of this study is to analyze and investigate cost readiness factor affecting the implementation of e-learning in Northern Iraq. The research would investigate the cost efficiency and cost readiness factor that affects the successful implementation of the e-learning system, and come up with prospective and sustainable solutions, which would go a long way in overcoming the cost barriers for future implementation. The researchers employed quantitative research method to find the cost readiness in implementing e-learning. The participants of the present study were 516 participants from different private universities in Northern of Iraq. The finding revealed that the cost readiness has significantly predicted e-learning and will have a direct positive association with e-learning. The limitation of this study is that the survey questions may not necessarily generalize the larger population of teachers and administrative staffs of private universities.
