E-learning is a sector of Saudi Arabian education that is witnessing significant growth, particularly in higher education. This article aims to provide a historical overview of the development and evolution of e-learning in Saudi Arabia. With the Ministry of Higher Education at the core of education and e-learning, the article will explore recent e-learning-related developments in King Saud University, King Faisal University, King Abdulaziz University and the Saudi Electronic University. As part of this analysis, the article will explore the challenges that are being encountered and the strategies that each of these institutions is implementing to support and develop e-learning. It is equally important to evaluate the role played by international partners, particularly the UK and the US, in supporting e-learning financially, socially and technologically. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has obtained significant support from the US and UK, with both countries contributing to the establishment of an integrated model for e-learning curriculums and information management systems in Saudi Arabia. Finally, this analysis explores the growth potential of e-learning and the efforts being made to support Saudi Arabia’s growing university student population.

This paper explores the academic staff perceptions on the factors affecting the acceptance and continuance usage of e-learning recommender system in Saudi Arabia on the basis of a qualitative data that were collected using the case study methodology. In this research, the case study design was selected for the qualitative methodology and semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection method for the case study. The case study is based in a university implementing an e-learning recommender system in Saudi Arabia. We conducted interviews with five management staff and thus qualitative data were collected. Data analysis was performed and NVIVO 10th version software was also utilised. Data were coded and themes were then generated. Findings indicate several factors that affect an e-learning recommender system adoption that include user experience, service quality, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Various suggestions were offered in this study and we also propose practical implications according to the identified insufficiencies.
