Chesapeake, VA: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education.978-1-880094-90-7http://hdl.handle.net/10451/25470When it comes to organizing programs for ICT-integration and e-learning initiatives in higher education, the analysis of how these programs can converge with universities’ strategic plans, colleges’ direction boards’ ambitions and departments projects tend to be highly valued. In the contrary, students’ opinions, their favourable/unfavourable positions regarding the defined lines of actions, their concerns, needs and suggestions tend to be poorly considered. Trying to fill this gap, the study described in this paper reports the inputs collected from the analysis of students’ point of view regarding the e-learning program developed for the University of Lisbon. An empirical study based on semi-structured interviews developed with the students’ unions form each faculty was conducted. It was possible to perceive the students’ evaluation of the pertinence of the universities’ e-learning program, considering 4-domains of analysis: (i) value and relevance of an e-learning program, (ii) identified potential of the e-learning program for the each faculty; (iii) positive and inhibit factors of the programs’ implementation process, (iv) strengths and weaknesses for the students.engE-learningHigher educationStudents’ perceptionsconference object
