Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;‘E-Learning exploits interactive technologies and communication systems to improve the learning experience. It has the potential to transform the way we teach and learn across the board. It can raise standards, and widen participation in lifelong learning. It cannot replace teachers and lecturers, but alongside existing methods it can enhance the quality and reach of their teaching, and reduce the time spent on administration. It can enable every learner to achieve his or her potential, and help to build an educational workforce empowered to change. It makes possible a truly ambitious education system for a future learning society. An effective e-learning model should include strategies to engage learners, facilitate learning and teaching, provide opportunities to evaluate learners&rsquo; performance, be user-friendly, and benefit the organization using it. The 4-Tier e-learning model ings more flexibility, which can be utilized for instructional design and program management. This model can be use to create successful and functional e-learning programs. Due to the complexity of implementing e-learning, it is essential to develop a wellorganized project management plan and be flexible to any changes and improvements needed. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how a 4-layer e-learning model which can effectively be used for a higher education institution and how to manage a successful quality e-learning project. This model may be combined with other e-learning models in some phases to achieve positive outcomes.</p>
