Abstract : The effective integration of e-learning into the education system in developing countries is slow. This can be attributed to isolated aspects of e-learning implementation. As a result, the actualization of benefits derived from implementing e-learning is very limited and in some cases lacking. This article presents a holistic approach to identifying key leveraging point for sustainable implementing e-learning in developing country contexts. Extensive literature review and focus group discussions are used to identify interrelationships between different factors that affect e-learning implementation in developing country contexts.

Keywords : E-Learning; Developing Country Context; Technology/Infrastructure Readiness; Institutional Readiness; Pedagogical Change; Systems Thinking.
