During this period educators had no option but to trade in their cement four walled classrooms for a computer as they switched from standing at a podium in a lecture room to sitting at their kitchen table in front of their laptop presenting courses from the safety of their own homes. For many this was a gift and a curse, as working from home became the new norm. In light of the current pandemic, the demands for online education is soaring. During the COVID19 pandemic we all had to adapt and, in many cases, re-imagine how best to utilize online and hybrid learning in order to provide a safe and supportive space for learners to engage in education. This paper will illustrate how to make the most of online education as we share lessons learnt from our five year project undertaken on how to improve the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in a specific university, namely the VLE of the Royal College of Surgeons of Ireland (RCSI). Improvements made to the VLE as well as recommendations will be provided on how to make VLEs more user friendly and engaging.","PeriodicalId":175874,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for e-Learning Security","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126769939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, studies on mobile learning adoption in the context of Malaysia is also still very limited. Against this concern, a study was undertaken with the aim of investigating factors that could influence mobile learning adoption. Building upon The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and two other variables which are perceived playfulness and self management of learning, an empirical based framework was developed to identify predictors of mobile learning. Employing a survey research method involving 282 respondents from Universiti Teknologi MARA, the results showed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social factors, facilitating conditions, perceived playfulness and self management of learning are strong determinants of intention to adopt mobile learning. The present study provides both a theoretical and practical contributions to understanding the predictors of intention to adopt mobile learning and should be of interest to both researchers and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":175874,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for e-Learning Security","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131044155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently a good deal of research is conducted to assess the effectiveness of such techniques and technologies on student learning and performance. A great deal of this research deals with LMS’s, e-learning platforms, such as Blackboard, but not much is being conducted on LMS’s provided by publishing companies, like McGraw Hill Education, whose course management systems are available for a range of courses and being used throughout the world. This paper examines the effectiveness of McGraw Hill Education’s Connect on improving student grades in a pre-calculus course at a university in a Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) country. Using simple and multiple linear regression analysis to investigate whether there was a relationship between the Connect online assignments’ grades and the total course grade of students in the course, and two independent sample t-tests to compare the grades between two pre-calculus courses (one taught using the Connect component, and the other taught in the traditional format) results show that using Connect has positive impact on student grades.","PeriodicalId":175874,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for e-Learning Security","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123451929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Countries flourish when their educational systems are doing well [2]. It is therefore worrisome that Malawi’s’ higher education enrolment is among the lowest in the word (World Bank, 2016). Concurrently, UNDP (2014) Report outlines that Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world and has a corresponding high level of high rate of illiteracy. Higher Institutions in Malawi like any other developing countries adopted elearning in an effort to increase access to higher education in the year 2011 through both public and private universities [5]. The educational reform was established without e-learning basic requirement establishment. This paper will therefore discuss the importance of e-learning to a developing country like Malawi, its challenges and suggestions of how to overcome them in order to successfully implement elearning. Further, the paper suggest that benefits and opportunities of e-learning by far outweighs its challenges hence the need to reinforce it. The paper will finally recommend other partners in education on how best they can work together with the Malawi Government to sustain e-learning system in higher education institutions in Malawi.","PeriodicalId":175874,"journal":{"name":"International Journal for e-Learning Security","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127360924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
