The implementation of e-Learning software in Tanzania’s universities as well as other developing countries is still very low even though there are plenty Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) that can cater for this purpose. Among ten universities, only the University of Dar Es Salaam (UDSM) has managed to implement the e-Learning software in Tanzania by using WEBCT and Blackboard are e-Learning proprietary software. This study therefore discusses how the Tanzania Universities can establish and implement the e-learning technology with a case study of the Sokoine University of Agriculture. Specifically, this study describes the early evaluation steps that were observed during the adoption of the e-learning platform at SUA. The extensive literature review, experience gained from other universities, and the analysis of the available open source e-learning software were used for the selection and further improvement of the e-learning platform at SUA. Challenges that are delaying the implementation of e-learning platform at SUA are also discussed, and recommendations are given upon them. It is anticipated that the findings of the study will be used by all stakeholders in planning cost-effective and efficient ICTs implementations for general improvement of education sector from national level up to district level. |
