As a consequence of the implementation of a series of policies, China has made significant achievements in the e-learning arena with respect to infrastructure construction, production of resources, academic education, non-academic training, and education for disadvantaged groups. However, due to the constraints of China¡¯s traditional culture, information literacy, and educational mechanisms, challenges have emerged in the implementation of e-learning that need urgently to be addressed. As e-learning in China continues to grow, major research areas such as students¡¯ and teachers¡¯ perspectives on developments in e-learning, teachers¡¯ pedagogical capacity and ongoing professional development in e-learning settings, and the production of more convenient and useful e-learning resources, are likely to be topics of continuing research interest %K Challenges %K China %K e-learning %K ICT in education %K professional development %K successes %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1745499918763421
