Strategic e-commerce model driven-architecture for e-Learning: TQM & e-ERP Perspective

Abstract

Innovation and value proposition in distance learning-programs (e-learning programs) is a multifaceted activity with enormous dimensionality. The implementation of information communication technology (ICT) and enhanced enterprise-resource-planning (eERP) for smart-campuses has emerged as inevitability for industrial competitiveness in smart factories as per the dictates of total quality management (TQM). The philosophy of productivity-management and concurrent engineering stipulates a competitive framework for e-learning for dissemination and absorption of knowledge by the intelligentsia, technologists and students. Conversely, competitiveness in today’s global village demands an innovative and systems-approach for improving the learning-curves in a virtual environment. The e-learning-programs have numerous inherent perplexities since in every virtual classroom there is a much higher probability to interact with orthogonal-cultures that too with multiple-intelligences. This paper proposes a “conceptual-strategic-planning-framework” for diffusion of innovative in a distance learning program (Course Tech novation). The framework is based on literature review and field visits encompassing integrated “E-commerce-model driven architecture” embedded with business intelligence and coupled with eERP-design functionalities.
