Investigating the change management For implementing e-learning projects in higher education

Although educational technologies (ETS) are mushrooming in higher education institutions (HEIs) but their role entirely depends on the acceptance and execution of required-change in the thinking and behavior of the developers and users of eLearning. It is very hard to change the mindset, cultural bonds and lifestyle of the human actors in the educational institutions. Teachers, students and administrators are used to traditional pedagogy and educational administration and research is constantly reporting that many eProjects of eLearning are falling short of their objectives due to many reasons but on the top is the ‘user resistance’ to change according to the digital requirements of new gadgets. It is however, argued that the only panacea for change management in eLearning environment is the eTraining of users with a view to enhancing their digital literacy and thus gradually changing the users attitude in positive direction.
