SUMMARY REVIEW (required - not more than 200 words): The research text tries to assess the acceptance of e-learning in entrepreneurship for Tunisia; 216 survey responses from different Tunisian regions are tested by a set of 10 hypotheses in multiple linear regression. The reliability of the psychometric testing model was checked by Cronbach’s alpha. Using a new learning technology for entrepreneurship education seems to depend on the learner’s willingness to share and the behavioural intent, in adaptive terms. A next study is already designed to focus on the content of new training media.

REVIEW IN FREE FORM: The research text contains a lot of interesting information, but the pieces are unfortunately not well connected. It is not possible to find the mentioned relationship of unemployment and entrepreneurship programs. Some decisive questions are missing: Could blended learning be better? The maths of the article may be elegant, but the research logic does not capture the core problem of this Tunisian e-learning-platform: How can the country educate much needed future entrepreneurs? What is the best educational practice or pathway?

SUGGESTIONS AND IDEAS FOR AUTHORS TO IMPROVE OR EXTEND THEIR WORK: Correction of all mistakes. Rethinking the composition (structure) of the article. More readability, also optical upgrading. This is a hot topic, served as a cold dish, in the end; keep it warm, at least. The whole grammar needs more clarity, coming to the point of investigation (best practice orientation).
