To gain depth understanding activities that support e-learning, pilot survey was conducted. This used refine instruments. The questionnaire, interviews conducted, documents on provided practices supports procedures were then compared with some best practice, gaps established.This paper has using dimensional tools establish procedure implementation, short long-term strategic plans will be put perspective. tool show how is moving from its current delivery or blend. problems discussed may achieve success assembling an team leader, determining appropriate learning technology, clearly outlining process having ongoing institutionalise innovative approach. policy strategy document, showing position must include pedagogical goals, requirements, evaluation, collaboration stakeholders, quality control, technical support, budget funding resource planning. African University examined.Management's goals perceptions are discussed.A set dimensions suggested implementation.
