The document outlines Sultan Qaboos University's 2006 strategy for implementing e-learning across the university. The strategy involved seven main steps: 1) establishing a policy to adopt e-learning techniques to support future academic development, 2) creating e-learning courses and supporting faculty, 3) developing student-centered e-courses in each college, 4) methods for adapting e-courses and supporting faculty/staff, 5) implementing objectives with dates, 6) monitoring implementation, and 7) biennial evaluations. However, the strategy failed because the university focused on face-to-face learning and lacked sufficient students, resources, and infrastructure to fully achieve e-learning goals.
