摘要：The problem of using the e-learning system in schools is not about the technology but how to deliver learning contents efficiently via a network. However, the conditions of most existing network infrastructure are not conducive for such a use, which inevitably becomes a huge obstacle to delivering such contents. In particular, such an obstacle is more critical in rural areas where the internet connection is nearly non-existent. Unmitigated, this will adversely affect the government’s effort to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural schools. Premised in this context, the research was carried out with the main aim to propose a new framework for cost-effective e-learning based on embedded technology for rural school with affordable cost. To conceptualize such a framework, the researchers analyzed several existing frameworks that are commonly used in most schools. In addition, a survey was carried out to examine the level of adoption of Internet use among teachers. The main finding of the survey showed that the lack of interest among teachers and insufficient infrastructure were two factors that contributed to the poor level of adoption of e-learning in such schools. In view of this finding, it is therefore important that the proposed framework can be used to improve the use of e-learning in such schools.
