Business, health, government and education are some of the core sectors of society which have been experiencing deep transformations due to a generalized ization. While these changes are not novel, the swift progress of technology and the rising complexity of environments place a focus on the need for further research and novel strategies. In the context of education, the promise of increased flexibility and broader access to educational resources is impelling much of higher education’s course offerings to online environments.

Online education not only assists students to success-fully integrate a workforce that is increasingly , but it helps them to become more comfortable with the use of technology in general and, hence, more prepared to be prolific citizens.

Moreover, these research efforts assist a more comprehensive reflection about the delivery of higher education in the context of online settings.
