ABSTRACT
Managing E-Learning Projects for Workplace Learning: An Integrative Review of the Peer Reviewed and Professional Literature
Tetiana Brandt
Research Problem: Workplace learning organizations face challenges in managing e-learning projects effectively as they strive to adapt to the digital age and meet modern learners’ needs. This study aims to explore theses management practices, focusing on how organizations handle e-learning projects and the factors that influence their approaches.
Research Question: How do workplace learning organizations manage e-learning projects?
Literature Review: The literature review focuses on two essential bodies of literature that are fundamental to the management of e-learning projects: instructional design models and project management theory. Together, these perspectives offer a comprehensive foundation for understanding how e-learning projects are managed in workplace settings.
Method: The study employs an integrative literature review methodology, with sources selected through replicable search parameters. The final dataset includes 57 sources published between 20023 and 2023. Content analysis was then applied to examine publications, a method well-suited for uncovering patterns and themes within the literature.
Results and Conclusions: The study reveals key insights into managing e-learning projects in workplace learning organizations, offering implications for practice, research and theory. Practitioners should understand the distinct roles of instructional design models and projects management methodologies, and how to integrate both effectively. Theoretical contributions highlight the need for hybrid frameworks addressing project complexity and emerging technology. Limitations include reliance of English-language sources and a focus on specific industries. Future research should explore diverse contexts, validate findings empirically, and assess the impact of AI and new technologies on e-learning project management.
