Abstract
A comprehensive survey was conducted in early 2010 to understand e-learning practice at several major universities. The survey revealed that all the universities are well equipped in terms of technology infrastructure but lack capable human resource support in areas such as e-learning pedagogy and content production. The universities adopt various initiatives to overcome the challenges and some of the initiatives can be useful to other universities facing similar challenges. The extent of adoption of best practices varies greatly among the universities. This paper presents the results of the survey and discusses some of the outcomes.
