摘要：This paper reports on findings of a study carried out at a university in South Africa. The purpose of this study wasto investigate how the lecturers' teaching practices improved as a result of e-learning implementation at the university inquestion. The main problem was that the university had invested so many resources on e-learning implementation and so it wasworthwhile investigating the returns on investment. The study followed a case study design that utilized a combination of bothquantitative and qualitative approaches. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a purposive sample oflecturers who made use of e-learning in their courses. The results suggested that the integration of information and communicationtechnology (ICT) and specifically the Blackboard learning management system, into learning and teaching, had enhanced thelecturers' teaching practices. The study further found that through e-learning, lecturers could upload online materials,communicate with their students and administer/mark online assessments, to mention a few. The students had the opportunityto interact with the online materials, communicate among themselves and with the lecturer, and construct and retain knowledge.Recommendations, limitations of the present study and suggestions for future research were made
