This research paper explores the influential factors that shape the landscape of technology-enhanced learning (TEL) from the perspectives of professionals in the education and training industries. Technology has dramatically transformed the way we approach learning, and understanding the key factors that influence its successful implementation is crucial for educators and policymakers. Through in-depth interviews and surveys, this study captures insights from a diverse group of professionals actively engaged in TEL initiatives. The research identifies and analyzes the critical factors affecting the adoption, implementation, and effectiveness of technology in learning environments. The findings shed light on challenges, opportunities, and best practices that can guide stakeholders in fostering meaningful and impactful TEL experiences. By synthesizing the experiences and opinions of these professionals, this paper provides valuable recommendations for harnessing technology to optimize the learning process and prepare learners for the demands of the digital age.
