The problems addressed in this research are two-fold: (1) there is no rigorous research
that investigates what factors have an impact on the introduction and use of e-learning in
tertiary-level IM education in the Sri Lankan context, and (2) there is a lack of
understanding of how these significant factors affect the introduction and use of elearning
in tertiary-level IM education in Sri Lanka. For tertiary providers of IM education
to plan and adopt e-learning in order to improve IM education for their students and to
achieve the government’s vision of higher education in Sri Lanka, these problems need to
be addressed.
