This study involved experts in e - learning to examine barriers of adopting e - learning and the b est strategies to address them. Data were gathered fr om a series of semi - structured interviews with e - learning experts from two HLIs in Tanzania. Five major barriers were identified: poor infrastructure; financial constraints; inadequate support; lack of e - learning knowledge and teachers' resistance to chan ge. The study further describes best practice approaches used by the two HLIs to address each of the challenges. It is recommended that training in e - learning needs to be provided to teachers and administrators; provide financial, technical and managerial support geared towards adoption. Successful adoption of e - learning requires a strategic approach that factors out barriers identified in this study and, which involve all education stakeholders
