Embedding e-learning: a new perspective on change and innovation

This paper challenges the position that e-learning, as an educational innovation, is obsolete. Instead, the authors argue that a more mature or sophisticated approach to organisational change is required to enable higher education institutions to accrue the benefits promised by the early e-learning enthusiasts and adopters. The paper presents a concept of embedding innovation as a process which incorporates four key dimensions: widespread adoption, integration, legitimisation and sustainability. A longitudinal perspective on change is proposed, one which addresses the need to manage and exploit the creative and complex issues associated with the more mature e-learning models. Practical examples are included from Griffith University, Australia, to illustrate and support the theoretical position and arguments developed in the paper.
