Abstract :
This research aims to identify and explain the key components of e-learning and workplace learning. The study employs an applied research method, using a cross-sectional and quantitative approach. Data were collected through non-random (targeted or judgmental) sampling. The statistical population consists of two groups: the first group comprises three information sources, and the second group includes journalists and subject matter experts familiar with the research topic. The findings reveal nine major categories, each with sub-components, that influence e-learning and workplace learning: 1. Organization and Management, which covers managerial, financial, educational, and environmental factors; 2. Information and Content, focusing on the quality, availability, and relevance of content; 3. Interaction and Communication, emphasizing comprehensive engagement with content, instructors, peers, and systems; 4. Effectiveness, including continuous learning, multimedia content, and diverse educational resources; 5. Technical Quality, involving system security, technical standards, and user satisfaction; 6. Learning Objectives, such as individual development and organizational goals; 7. Learning Requirements, encompassing technological, individual, environmental, and organizational needs; and 8. Learning Dimensions, which cover technological, educational, organizational, and managerial aspects. These components collectively shape the e-learning experience and enhance workplace learning.
