The similarities and differences among these studies were analyzed. The full set of 68 papers used to determine the corresponding sub-themes of success factors. The results from data analysis of the factors for e-learning were grouped into ten main dimensions: 1) Planning 2) Readiness 3) Management 4) Support 5) Pedagogical 6) Technological 7) Faculty 8) Institution 9) Evaluation 10) Ethics. Each of the ten dimensions groups together 110 influential factors that can support and enhance the quality of e-learning courses in the context of higher education institutes. The results help to articulate issues that are essential to the successful implementation of e …
