E-learning at the University of Goroka plays a pivotal role in enhancing access to education and improving student engagement in Papua New Guinea. As the region faces challenges such as geographical barriers and limited resources, e-learning initiatives provide flexible learning opportunities that cater to diverse student needs. This mode of education facilitates the incorporation of modern educational technologies, allows for interactive and adaptive learning experiences, and prepares students for a technology-driven workforce. Furthermore, it promotes continuous professional development for educators and strengthens collaboration among institutions, thereby enriching the overall academic environment. The significance of e-learning is underscored by research highlighting its effectiveness in improving academic performance and fostering lifelong learning skills (Moore, 2018; Zhang et al., 2020).
