This project focuses on Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and its goal is to make people aware of its importance and increasing use.
This study shows the difference between a Virtual Learning Environment and other educational websites and how we can understand its specificities. This paper addresses Moodle, which is a modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment used by study communities all over the world for free; and EnglishTown, which is an on-line English school using Adobe’s Adobe Connect 8. Both are accessed by many people and can help us be aware of what a VLE is.

Lessons learned video in the online classroom 04_10_14_finalAshford University
As more and more universities implement online courses, instructors continually try to find ways to improve student perceptions, engagement, and learning in the online format while limiting challenges. Instructors often turn to different types of media such as video streaming, pdf files, and YouTube videos to enhance the learning environment. Students indicate a likeness for the convenience of online learning, but clear methods have not been established to improve learning in the online format compared to the traditional face-to-face format. We will present the benefits of adding video, the challenges of using video in the online classroom, and future research that we are considering.

1. Web 2.0 in Education:
Teachers’ Perceptions and Perspectives

Creating Futures Through Technology Conference
Biloxi, Mississippi, March 4, 2010
9. Web 2.0 allows learners to:
participate in
a learning community
10. Background
• The “digital native” students have already found many Web 2.0 tools
integral to their daily life
• Many researchers have found that perceived usefulness, or the extent
to which an individual believes that the use of technology will enhance
performance, has a positive influence on behavioral intention (Davis,
1989; Hartshorne, Ajjan, and Ferdig, 2010; Roger 2003; Taylor & Todd,
1995)
• The greater the perceived usefulness of a technological application, the
more likely it is for the individual to use the new technology
(Hartshorne, Ajjan, and Ferdig, 2010; Rogers, 2003).
• Studies of teachers’ perceptions and opinions are critical because
teachers’ perceptions are significant to the implementation of
technology innovations in teaching and learning.
11. Pilot Study
• Conducted in July 2009.
• A total of 35 participants in two graduate classes in a
public university in Taiwan. Most of the participants were
K-12 teachers.
• Participants showed positive perceptions of the
pedagogical benefits of Web 2.0 tools in teaching and
learning.
• Participants had positive experience in using blogs,
social videos, social networking sites, wikis, and
podcasts
• The most often used Web tools by teachers were blogs,
social videos, social networking sites, and wikis.
12. Purposes
• Examine teachers’ use of Web 2.0 tools in
education
• Assess teachers’ awareness and perceptions of
the pedagogical benefits of Web 2.0
technologies in teaching and learning
• Investigate teachers’ interests and willingness of
adopting Web 2.0 tools to support and
supplement classroom instruction
13. Participants
• Teachers at all levels in Mississippi
• Participants at the 2010 Mississippi Educational
Computing Association (MECA) Conference
• Participants at the 2010 Creating Futures
Through Technology Conference (CFTTC)
14. Design and Instrument
• A quantitative approach was used to collect data from a
questionnaire
• The questionnaire is comprised of three parts:
– Part A includes 13 demographic items for respondents,
including items such as age, gender, years of teaching,
online habits, and general attitude of using technology in
education
– Part B contains 20 items exploring the teachers’ use of
Web 2.0 tools or services
– Part C includes 32 five point Likert-scale items examining
teachers’ perceptions (20 items) and interests (12 items)
of using Web 2.0 tools in teaching and learning
15. Reliability and Validity of
the Instrument
• Content validity
– A jury of experts to determine the appropriateness
and content validity of the Part B and Part C
– Comments and feedback were used to refine the
instrument
• Reliability
– A reliability was conducted for the 20 Perceptions
items in Part C
– Cronbach’s coefficient α was 0.98, indicating
excellent reliability

interactive Web tools for teaching and learning
• Strongly Agree (48%)
• Agree (42%)
• Neutral (8%)
• Disagree (1%)
• Strongly Disagree (1%)
27. ANOVA
• Are there differences in teachers’ overall
experience using Web 2.0 tools in teaching
and learning, teachers’ perception on Web
2.0 in teaching and learning, teachers’
interest in learning interactive Web 2.0 tools
among various groups of teachers in terms
of their teaching levels and length of
teaching experience?
28. ANOVA Results
• No significance differences were found on teachers’
perception on Web 2.0 in teaching and learning and
teachers’ interest in learning interactive Web 2.0 tools
among various groups of teachers in terms of their
teaching levels and length of teaching experience.
• No significance differences were found on teachers’
overall experience with Web 2.0 among various
groups of teachers in terms of their teaching levels.
• Significance differences (p<0.5) were found on
teachers’ overall experience with Web 2.0 among
various groups of teachers in terms of their length of
teaching experience.
29. Conclusion
• The most often used Web tools by teachers were social
networking sites and social video tools
• Teachers had positive experience in using social videos,
social networking sites, and podcasts
• Teachers showed positive perceptions of the pedagogical
benefits of Web 2.0 tools in teaching and learning
• Teachers felt the importance of Web 2.0 tools and were
interested in learning these tools to support and
supplement classroom instruction
• The results confirm the findings in the pilot study.
However, teachers in the pilot study used Web 2.0 tools
more often than the current study and had better overall
experiences with Web 2.0 tools
