Description:
E-learning is
providing employers with the opportunity to train and develop their
employees while they are available in the workplace, at a low cost and
with the flexibility of time and programs. Employees are exempted from
taking regular classes or to travel away from their workplace. The
web-based method of learning is a good solution for companies to
develop the knowledge and skills of their workforce, especially if they
are distributed worldwide.
This
track invites research papers and studies regarding the integration of
this training method in the companies' cultures, the opportunities and
obstacles associated with adopting such new learning method, the
different considerations need to be taken before and after adopting
E-learning in the workplace, etc.
Papers
will be evaluated for originality, significance, clarity, and
contribution. It is IBIMA policy to send complete papers to two
reviewers for full blind peer review and to send a summary of review
back to the author(s) . Short papers/abstracts will be reviewed

Papers must not have been previously published or currently submitted
