Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Background E-learning has become an important part of the training of employees in health organizations. Successful e-learning requires, co-operation, good interaction between educational tools, organizational culture and technology. An important precondition for achieving this good interaction is to focus on the education and organization and not so much on the technology itself. This study aims to find out what employees think and believe about e-learning. The following question is the basis for this study: «How do employees at Sørlandet Hospital HF evaluate e-learning courses, and are they likely to be positive to use e-learning courses in Læringsportalen again?» Method To answer the question, a quantitative method has been used based on a research model developed by Dr. Ming-Chi Lee at National Pingtung University in Taiwan. His research instrument was translated and used in the survey. The instrument consists of 31 statements that the respondents should consider. In addition, the respondents were asked to evaluate the e-learning course they had just completed. The questionnaire was linked to six different elearning courses in the Læringsportalen for a period of eight weeks. Result There were 115 respondents who completed the entire survey and thus form the basis for the data analysis. The findings show a general positive attitude towards e-learning both from the respondents' evaluation of the various statements and the current e-learning course. Conclusion The study shows that the research model can provide answers to the question concerning employees' attitude towards e-learning. The results and the statistical analyzes selected indicate that employees at Sørlandet Hospital HF are positive to Læringsportalen. This may imply that employees are also likely to be positive to undertake new e-learning courses.
