      Abstract

      The aim of this paper is the analysis of the existing state-of-the-art implementation of information management and e-learning systems in Libya (with emphasis on TripoliUniversity). The focus is to identify the factors that act as barriers to creating innovative learning environments of E-learning excellence amongst postgraduate students in Higher Education (HE) in Libya. The paper underlines that in spite of the drawbacks faced by most HE institutions, some have managed to successfully introduce E-learning into their curriculum. Finally the paper proposes a set of recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the use of information management and E-learning systems in Libyan HE based on the results of SWOT analysis performed by the authors about using technology for educational purposes.
