Management of E-Learning in Higher Education Institutions during the COVID-19 Pandemic/Upravljanje e-učenjem u visokoobrazovnim institucijama tijekom pandemije COVID-19
Abstract
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to assess the experiences geared toward the implementation
of e-learning strategies in public and private higher education institutions (HEIs)
during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study explores the enabling factors that
influenced the usage of e-learning systems during the COVID-19 pandemic in a
society that is less digitally savvy. An emphasis was placed on structural equation
modeling (SEM) to achieve our goal of studying quantitative research paradigms.
Six hundred and thirty-seven valid responses suggested that the COVID-19 outbreak
has positively and significantly influenced HEIs to adopt e-learning strategies. In
addition, it was found that academic innovation and e-learning adoption had a
significant mediation effect (p > 0.05) on the connection between the COVID-19
pandemic and e-learning implementation. The study provides useful contributions to
the management and policymakers of universities and HEIs in terms of understanding
the important factors that ensure the effective use of e-learning systems by students
and professors. In conclusion, the results of this research offer a novel contribution
to both the management and policymakers at public and private universities to
evaluate and employ its findings for certifying the effective use of e-learning practices
in pandemic crises.

Sažetak
Svrha ovog rada je procijeniti iskustva usmjerena na provedbu strategija e‑učenja
u javnim i privatnim visokoobrazovnim institucijama (VOI) tijekom pandemije
COVID‑19. U studiji se istražuju čimbenici koji omogućuju korištenje sustava
e‑učenja tijekom pandemije COVID‑19 u društvu koje je manje digitalno
osviješteno. Naglasak je stavljen na modeliranje strukturnih jednadžbi (SEM)
kako bi se proučavale kvantitativne istraživačke paradigme. Šest stotina trideset i
sedam valjanih odgovora sugerira da je izbijanje COVID‑19 pozitivno i značajno
utjecalo na VOI-e da usvoje strategije e‑učenja. Dodatno je utvrđeno da akademska
inovativnost i usvajanje e‑učenja imaju značajan medijacijski učinak (p > 0,05)
na vezu između pandemije COVID‑19 i provedbe e‑učenja. Studija daje korisne
smjernice menadžmentu i kreatorima politika sveučilišta i VOI‑a u razumijevanju
ključnih čimbenika koji studentima i nastavnicima osiguravaju učinkovitu uporabu
sustava e‑učenja. Zaključno, rezultati ovoga istraživanja predstavljaju novi doprinos
menadžmentu i kreatorima politika na javnim i privatnim sveučilištima kako bi mogli
vrednovati i primijeniti nalaze radi osiguranja učinkovite primjene praksi e‑učenja
tijekom pandemijskih kriza.
