In recent years much has been written about the potential of e-learning to address some of the difficulties that Higher Education Institutions are faced with in relation to reduced academic staffing levels catering to an increasing and diverse student population. The mere mention of e-learning (Hunt, 2011) may indicate an assumption that e-learning will solve these issues.
