The authors determined what factors influence e-learning type classification and how time consuming is e-learning in course development stage in comparison to that of face-to-face learning? Methods such as computation using threshold values, k-means clustering, and comparison of means using paired ttests were used. Furthermore, comparison of means was used to validate the factors.

In conclusion, authors deliver recommendations based on analysis lessons learned for further development. This research has practical implications for higher education managers to make informed decisions.
