This document discusses challenges and strategies for implementing e-learning in community education settings. It notes that some learners and teachers were initially reluctant due to lack of technology access or skills. However, e-learning was introduced through strategies like flipped learning using personal devices, iPad sessions, and workshops. Learners reported that e-learning enhanced their experience by providing real-life skills, ability to learn from home if absent, independent learning, and evidence of progression. Teachers were initially hesitant but were supportive after receiving training, examples of best practices, and understanding the benefits of e-learning.
