Evaluating critical success factors in implementing E-learning system using multicriteria decision-making

Learning using the Internet or training through E-Learning is growing rapidly and is increasingly favored over the traditional methods of learning and teaching. This radical shift is directly linked to the revolution in digital computer technology. The revolution propelled by innovation in computer technology has widened the scope of E-Learning and teaching, whereby the process of exchanging information has been made simple, transparent, and effective. The E-Learning system depends on different success factors from diverse points of view such as system, support from the institution, instructor, and student. Thus, the effect of critical success factors (CSFs) on the E-Learning system must be critically analyzed to make it more effective and successful. This current paper employed the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) with group decision-making (GDM) and Fuzzy AHP (FAHP) to study the diversified factors from different dimensions of the web-based E-Learning system. The present paper quantified the CSFs along with its dimensions. Five different dimensions and 25 factors associated with the web-based E-Learning system were revealed through the literature review and were analyzed further. Furthermore, the influence of each factor was derived successfully. Knowing the impact of each E-Learning factor will help stakeholders to construct education policies, manage the E-Learning system, perform asset management, and keep pace with global changes in knowledge acquisition and management

Obstacles and Policy Measures Toward COVID-19 Vaccination: Creating a Sustainable Road Map for Malawi

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is a public health threat for Malawi which is facing several challenges concurrently including disease burden; inadequate finances; illiteracy; and public mistrust in government. In this pandemic, vaccines are the most reliable and cost-effective public health intervention, and the Malawian government has instituted an action plan which includes prioritizing the vaccination of traditional and religious leaders, increased vaccination sites to include workplaces and shopping malls, and health promotion. However, there is still considerable hesitancy around the use of the available vaccines in Malawi. In this paper, we explore the multiple interrelated factors driving COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in Malawi. It is therefore recommended that the Malawian government embrace multicomponent and wide-ranging strategies to address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in the country. This includes reviving trust in national health authorities by offering population-specific, target-driven, and effective, transparent, and timely communication to its citizens and relevant stakeholders about the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine
