This document summarizes a study examining faculty perceptions of mobile learning (m-learning) adoption in Saudi higher education. The study aims to understand factors influencing m-learning uptake, particularly related to attitudes, pedagogy, culture and technology. A mixed methods approach is used, including surveys and interviews of faculty at King Abdulaziz University. Existing technology adoption theories will be applied to analyze factors like performance expectations, effort required and social influences on intentions to use m-learning. Understanding barriers and facilitators of m-learning is important as it could help Saudi universities transition away from traditional lecture-based teaching and develop effective blended learning programs.

This document summarizes the results of a study on students' use of mobile devices for mobile learning (m-learning) at the School of Management at the New Bulgarian University. The study found that:
1. Smartphones, tablets, and e-readers are commonly owned by students, with smartphones being the most popular.
2. Students have a positive attitude toward using their mobile devices for educational purposes, though m-learning cannot fully replace traditional learning currently.
3. Android and iOS are the dominant operating systems for smartphones and tablets, while Kindle is the top e-reader brand.
Most students own 1-2 mobile devices, and many opportunities exist to incorporate m-learning, though the
The document summarizes the findings of a study on e-learning policies in Malaysian higher education institutions. It found that only 38.5% of institutions have an e-learning policy, and the majority were developed without input from students or external stakeholders. Most policies are approved by the institution's Senate or top management and disseminated through training programs, websites, and circulars. While many institutions have implementation plans for their e-learning policies, success rates for implementation are low, between 0-50% for most. Support for e-learning from management and faculties is high but lower from lecturers.
The document discusses the findings of a study on e-learning governance in Malaysian higher education institutions. Some key findings include:
1) Most institutions (over 60%) have a center dedicated to managing e-learning, typically under the information technology or academic development centers.
2) A majority of institutions have an e-learning committee, but only about half provide an annual budget specifically for e-learning.
3) The main challenges are a shortage of staff and lack of incentives for those implementing e-learning, as well as the absence of clear e-learning policies and guidelines.
All Malaysian higher education institutions provide e-Learning training for academic staff, while most (69.2%) also train support staff and half train students. The training typically focuses on learning management system skills (96.2%) and e-Learning introductions (84.6%), and is mostly conducted face-to-face over one day, 1-3 times per year. While internal trainers usually provide the training, some institutions invite outside consultants. Most academic staff and lecturers feel the training is effective, but the main challenges are lack of motivation among teaching staff and clashes with teaching schedules.
The document discusses improving equity and access to higher education in Indonesia. It notes the disparity in participation between income quintiles, with only a small percentage of students from the lowest income quintile attending university due to the high costs. Current government scholarship programs are merit-based and do not adequately target students from lower-income backgrounds who may have lower academic performance for other reasons. The recommendation is to reform scholarships by making them consider both merit and need, and to establish specialized units to manage the process and increase accountability in selecting beneficiaries from lower-income groups.
Quality Assurance in e-Learning by Mohamed Amin EmbiMohamed Amin Embi
Only around half of Malaysian higher education institutions have guidelines on e-learning quality or include e-learning in their continuous quality improvement processes. Most quality assurance related to e-learning is handled by centers for academic or teaching and learning development. Few institutions monitor the impact of e-learning on teaching methods or student achievement. While e-learning administrators prioritized mobile learning and podcasting, lecturers and students placed more importance on intelligent tutoring systems.
Applicability of Educational Data Mining in Afghanistan: Opportunities and Ch...Abdul Rahman Sherzad
The increase in enrollment in education and higher education institutions, the increase in the use of the Internet as well as the emergence of technology in educational systems have led to the aggregation of large amounts of student data at educational institutions (schools, colleges, and universities), which makes it vital to use data mining methods to improve the educational settings.
Although educational institutions collect an enormous amount of student data, this data is utilized to produce basic insights and is not used for decisions to improve the educational settings.
To get essential benefits from the data, powerful techniques are required to extract the useful knowledge which is valuable and significant for the decision and policy makers.
This document summarizes findings from a study on the use of learning management systems (LMS) in Malaysian higher education institutions. Some key findings include:
- All institutions had an LMS, with most using open source platforms like Moodle. Half had been using their LMS for over 3 years.
- The most common LMS components were communications, course delivery, and content development. However, integration with other systems like libraries was low.
- Most faculty and students felt the major LMS features worked well. While most faculty used the institutional LMS, others supplemented it with tools like social media.
- The top challenges to LMS adoption were faculty satisfaction with existing teaching methods and lack of time/IT expertise
Assessment Of The Admission Criteria That Predict Students’ Academic Performa...journal ijrtem
ABSTRACT: Prior to this era, individual universities in Nigeria conducted concessional examinations for the selection of their prospective students. Other compulsory condition was the possession of five credit passes in the relevant subjects in the ordinary level certificate. The other mode of entry was the direct admission of students into the direct second year level of candidates who possessed either the national diploma certificate or the general certificate of education at the advanced level in the relevant papers. Problem arose, where students had multiple admissions in several universities and those who could not afford to write admission examinations to multiple institutions and the not too brilliant students were deprived the opportunity of admission into the very limited Universities. These reasons caused the Federal Government of Nigeria to establish the Joint admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in 1978. Today, studies showed that JAMB and WAEC alone can no more ascertain the best crop of students for admission as there are exam syndicates everywhere in the country to ensure that their candidates/customers make all their papers in one sitting consequently pass their JAMB and get admission as well. This research is therefore proffering an alternative admission paradigm that will go beyond considering only test scores for admission, but will consider aggregate academic records of the prospective students before admission is offered or denied. This alternative method can be actually using Artificial Neural Network techniques.

Predicting student performance in higher education using multi-regression modelsTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Supporting the goal of higher education to produce graduation who will be a professional leader is a crucial. Most of universities implement intelligent information system (IIS) to support in achieving their vision and mission. One of the features of IIS is student performance prediction. By implementing data mining model in IIS, this feature could precisely predict the student’ grade for their enrolled subjects. Moreover, it can recognize at-risk students and allow top educational management to take educative interventions in order to succeed academically. In this research, multi-regression model was proposed to build model for every student. In our model, learning management system (LMS) activity logs were computed. Based on the testing result on big students datasets, courses, and activities indicates that these models could improve the accuracy of prediction model by over 15%.
In 2017, Ashesi partnered with Camu to streamline administrative records, specifically student registrations, through the effective implementation of a Student Management Information system.
Half of Malaysian higher education institutions surveyed have a dedicated center for developing e-learning content. The main strategy used is collaboration between these centers and subject matter experts. The most commonly used applications for development are Flash, Articulate, and Adobe Captivate. Lecturers, graphic designers, and multimedia developers are primarily involved in content creation. Major support provided includes advice, equipment, and training, though few institutions offer development grants. The main challenges facing institutions are lack of motivation, specialists, and funding among staff. Copyright issues also present difficulties for most schools.
The primary goal of this research was to investigate AOU students' conceptions of the quality of online experience through the learning management system in supporting their classroom tutorials. A 32-item questionnaire was administered to a randomly selected sample (205) of Elementary Education students at the AOU Jordan Branch. On one hand, the results showed that the objectives of the courses were very clear to students, online materials on the learning management system were interesting and supported to classroom learning, students preferred online quizzes, the online materials supported key assessment tasks and tutors provided continuous access to relevant information about assessment. On the other hand, the findings revealed that the online materials and e-activities were too loaded for the students to understand thoroughly, and much of the feedback they received from the tutor was not helpful. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences among students’ views of BL or their overall satisfaction of the online experience that could be attributed to gender or academic achievement level. Results suggest some pedagogical implications for tutors and programmer coordinators.
Students at Assam University can choose from a variety of courses. There are also a variety of streams to choose from. As a result, it's multidisciplinary. There are, nevertheless, certain diploma courses available. There are also vocational and integrated courses available.

Prediction of South Eastern Nigerian Students’ Under Graduate Scores with The...iosrjce
The study looked at the relationship between Joint University Matriculation and the performance of
students in 300 level, 400 level and 500 level students who were admitted into 6 (Six) Nigerian Universities in
2005. A correlational longitudinal survey design was adopted. A preform was used to collect the data from the
students’ files. Their cumulative grade point average and JAMB UME and Post UME Scores were collected.
The population is made up of 3280 students selected by a combination of stratified and sample random and
purposive sampling techniques.
Results show that both JAMB UME and Post UME did not predict performance as measured by cumulative
grade point averages in the years under study. It is recommended that both examination be maintained.
This paper details how early-capture survey data and continuous student feedback has informed practice within a social science department at the University of York. It will show how results from a survey of first year students at the very start of their degree course, loosely based on the ECAR studies in the US (Smith and Caruso 2010), have fed into departmental teaching strategy and provided a solid knowledge-base for academic staff to understand the way students engage with ICT and their expectations of how technology-enhanced learning should be included within degree programmes. This increase in understanding is hypothesised to be a contributory factor to the high buy-in from academic staff in the use of learning technologies within this department. Presented at ALT-C 2012.
Most students have access to the internet on campus using smartphones. Nearly half of students access the internet daily on campus, likely due to socioeconomic factors limiting off-campus access. While most students can easily connect devices to Wi-Fi, over 20% reported difficulties or illiteracy regarding internet usage.
Reflection-on-action is necessary to derive meaning from one’s experiences. This paper revisits research data from an elongated study on the impact of a distance education programme on the professional practice of graduates. The study focused on 300 graduates and 128 principals, selected through multi-stage and purposive sampling. The researcher used a mixed-methods research design with specific focus on Kirkpatrick’s, and Baldwin and Ford’s training evaluation models. The researcher’s curiosity was triggered by the need to understand possible reasons for the participants’ views, as these are contrary to the norm. This account indicates a clear institutional policy on quality assurance, practices guided by the policy, an ongoing monitoring of the distance education students’ profiles, improved programme design, student support structures, programme design and research focused on programmes as possible reasons. The author argues that higher education practitioners, irrespective of delivery mode, could benefit from the valuable lessons learnt from the exercise.

Dana Lucisano completed a 1 hour and 14 minute online course titled "Instructional Design Essentials: Storyboarding" in November 2016. The course provided instruction on storyboarding for instructional design. Dana received Certificate No: 0ABF3D4664984A348F5909A85ADB05F8 upon completion of the course.
The document discusses different approaches to evaluation in e-learning, including positivist and realist evaluation. It argues that realist evaluation focuses on understanding contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes, rather than simply determining what works. Realist evaluation aims to uncover the underlying mechanisms that produce particular outcomes in certain contexts. By taking a multi-theory, multi-method approach and cumulating contextualized descriptions of mechanisms and outcomes, realist evaluation can provide objective understanding of educational institutions and technologies.
Prototyping involves creating blueprints or mockups of instructional materials before full development to visualize content flow and get feedback. There are two main methods: storyboarding uses post-its or software to sketch each page or screen, while rapid prototyping uses an iterative process of testing and improving electronic prototypes. Both allow refining details early to create a more effective and efficient final product.

It defines chunking and explains why it is important for online learning. A four-step process for chunking is outlined: starting with large modules and dividing them into smaller lessons and topics, chunking at the screen level, and checking for working memory overload. The document also discusses what a storyboard is, why it is important, and how to create one using a template to specify elements of each screen.
Edtech1 C6: instructional design models and methodsherli ann virador
The document discusses three instructional design models:
1. The ADDIE model is a six step process for instructional design that focuses on the relationship between context, content, learning, and instruction.
2. Dale's Cone of Experience shows that learner retention increases the more actively involved students are in the learning process through hands-on activities.
3. Gagne's instructional theory has three elements - a taxonomy of learning outcomes, conditions needed to achieve those outcomes, and nine events of instruction. It is a simple model designed for curriculum development with an emphasis on understanding the learner.
The document discusses the shortcomings of traditional eLearning and lectures, noting that attention spans drop off significantly within the first 10-25 minutes of a lecture. It advocates for more interactive and engaging eLearning content that allows learners to explore, interact, and learn through experience in a risk-free environment. The principles of game design, like challenge, feedback, and flow are highlighted as important for keeping learners engaged. The document calls for educators, designers, and communicators to work together to create more engaging online learning experiences.

The impact of research and mentorship in a fast- paced digitized world on institutions of higher education, communities and nations have been remarkable. Evidence- based research and mentorship have been associated with enhanced science identity, productivity, recruitment and career satisfaction and self- efficacy of individuals and institutions and helps us to better understand the evolving community needs. In the last quinquennial, research and mentorship have grown in importance as it seeks to build individual’s and institution’s confidence, improves communication, critical thinking and problem- solving skills. However, the issue of inadequate documentation, inconsistent methodological practices, varied definitions for the same topic coupled with the risk of being bias, time consuming and cost- involving makes it difficult to quantify its influence on individuals, institutions and communities. The study therefore examines the effectiveness of research and mentorship on the performance of students and faculty members in institutions of higher education in Ghana.
The dominant mode of instructional delivery in Ghanaian Colleges of
Education has been the conventional face-to-face. However, the second
semester of the 2019/2020 academic year teaching had to be done via an
emergency remote online teaching mode due to the novel covid-19
pandemic. In a cross-sectional survey, the online mathematics learning
experienced of 497 students sampled from three Colleges of education in
Ghana were explored using the adapted community of inquiry survey
instrument. It was observed from the study that students’ online mathematics
learning experiences were low. Further observation showed that while class
cohesion and resolution dimensions were absent, teaching presence,
exploration, affective expression, and triggering event dimensions of
students’ online mathematics learning experiences were present.
Additionally, the results showed that the difference in the magnitude of
means in gender was partly dependent on the category of internet use before
the remote online mathematics teaching was observed in the dimension of
lack of class cohesion. Besides, the students were generally indifferent in
their learning experiences regarding genders but significantly in terms of
their internet use before the remote online mathematics teaching. Based on
the results, implications of the state of the college of education (CoE)
students’ online mathematics learning experiences and suggestions for
improvement have been proposed.
Perception of University Instructors on ICT Integrated EducationTsegay Girmay
University instructors in Northern Ethiopia were surveyed about their perceptions of integrating information and communication technologies (ICT) into education. 309 instructors from four universities completed questionnaires, and 18 deans were interviewed. Results showed that instructors generally had positive attitudes towards integrating ICT into instruction. Significant differences in perceptions were found based on age, gender, and field of study, but not teaching experience, academic rank, or administrative position. The study provides insight into how Ethiopian universities are working to improve education through investments in ICT infrastructure and training.
The study was intended to examine the utilization as well as the availability of E-learning facilities in the teaching of senior school physics in Ilorin, Nigeria. The study was a survey type and all physics teachers constitute the population. A total of 60 teachers was sampled for the study. Multi-stage sampling technique was adopted in the selection of respondents. Simple random sampling technique was used to select 20 out of 35 secondary schools. Two structured checklists were used to collect data. Percentage and mean were used to answer the research questions while ANOVA was used to test hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed that printers, photocopying machine, desktop computers, laptop computers, Android phones, electronic typewriters and scanners were available, E-learning facilities were not utilized, there is no significant difference in the utilization of E-learning facilities for teaching physics based on teachers’ qualifications and experience. It was then recommended that physics teachers should be given proper training on how to use as well as maintain E-learning facilities in their various schools in order to equip them with the necessary skills, knowledge and values that will enable them optimize teaching in a fast changing world.
From Access To Success: Improving The Higher Education Learning Experience Fo...Helen Farley
Higher education institutions are increasingly relying on digital technologies that require internet access to support learning and teaching, particularly from a distance. Disadvantaged student groups that do not have access to the internet, such as incarcerated students, are often excluded as a result. This paper reports on a project that will develop and trial a sustainable and innovative learning management system (LMS) called Stand-Alone Moodle (SAM) that is able to operate without internet access. SAM will enable institutions to provide these students with similar course materials, activities and support available to other students, thereby improving the quality of the student learning experience. SAM will be trialled within a Queensland correctional centre and evaluated using a design-based research methodology. The findings and recommendations from the project will be disseminated to learning institutions and correctional centres across Australia to encourage equitable access to education for disadvantaged students. The digital literacies of staff and students, the maintenance of the technology and sufficient access to computer labs all had to be accommodated within the design of the project.

According to three studies on e-learning:
1) E-learning is becoming an important response to continuous learning needs and will be transformative if its potential is fully realized.
2) Students who use e-learning report being able to learn autonomously and with motivation, pursuing courses intensely and successfully. E-learning supports communication and accommodates different learning needs.
3) Acceptance of e-learning depends on computer ownership, prior experience, and students' perceptions - with acceptance higher for blended or supplemented courses over fully online courses.
The document summarizes research on gender inequality in access to and use of ICT in teaching and learning in Ugandan schools. The research found that while both male and female educators and students had limited overall access to computers and the internet, access tended to be even more constrained for females due to socioeconomic and cultural barriers. Barriers cited included lack of time, cost, and safety issues for females accessing ICT resources from home or internet cafes. The research concluded there is a need for gender-sensitive ICT policies and training to promote more equitable access to and use of technology in education.

Factors affecting students’ continuance intention to use teaching performance...IJECEIAES
This study aims to determine university students’ continuance intention in using an android-based teaching performance assessment (TPA) application. For the data gathering instrument, we employed an online structured questionnaire. Two hundred and forty students from four faculties were selected and assigned a five-scale survey. All completed questionnaires were analyzed using analysis of moment structure (AMOS). The findings show that the factors of productivity, performance, relevancy, quality and mobility of the android-based TPA have significantly influenced students’ continuance intention to use the application. The results highlighted that when an android-based system was developed based on the criteria, the long-term use of the android-based TPA application can be consistently maintained to improve universities’ teaching quality assessment. However, our study needs to improve in that the university students may evaluate teaching staffs who are not teaching a subject in their class because all teaching staff has appeared in the application database. In addition, further research needs to limit each lecture based on a specific course to be assessed by a particular student’s class.
This study assessed the impediments to e-learning utilization by higher institution students in Katsina State, Nigeria. A questionnaire was administered to 381 students across four higher institutions. The findings revealed that all 15 impediments investigated affected e-learning utilization to varying degrees. The foremost factor was a lack of money to purchase e-learning resources, followed by limited electricity supply. There was no significant gender difference in impediments, but a significant difference was found between universities and colleges of education. It was recommended that the identified impediments be addressed by the government to improve e-learning utilization.
