Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to review the influence of business-oriented electronic learning systems on increasing team effectiveness within the local technology sector in Ireland. Ten participants from various Irish IT businesses participated in semi-structured interviews as part of a primary qualitative data-gathering method. This study which was based on thematic analysis investigated the integration of e-learning platforms, collaborative use of technology resources, and the impact on collaboration and productivity. Findings have revealed that e-learning platform integration in the company has resulted in increased team cooperation, knowledge sharing and task coordination. The assistance of Slack, Trello and Zoom as collaborative tools was significant as they facilitated the process of communication and project management. Nonetheless, obstacles including cultural resistance and scalability problems were considered which emphasise the importance of special training and support for them. Based on this analysis, a need was seen for further research on, how, the evolution of integration of e-learning, affects team dynamics and organisational performance over time. Overall, the analysis obtained from this research helped in giving a clear picture of the part played by e-learning platforms in improving productivity within the Irish technology sector.
