Abstract
The E-Learning Maturity Model (eMM) provides a means by which institutions can assess their capability to sustainably develop, deploy and support e-learning. The eMM assesses capability in a number of processes that have been selected through a combination of research and consultation with groups internationally. This paper presents the results of the consultation on the key institutional practices needed for successful e-learning. As well, reflecting the engagement with the e-learning community necessary for the eMM to reflect current practice, this paper is also being provided via a wiki so as to facilitate reflection and updating of the analysis by experts in the areas of e-learning design, development, delivery and support. The final version of this work presented at the conference will include that commentary and reflect on the process of engagement and ongoing development of a shared understanding of the factors influencing successful use of technology by educators.
