In this study, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) were used in the preparation of pre-service teachers as a possible way to increase their knowledge about Learning Design. The purpose of this study was to investigate, using a case study, how pre-service teachers' reflections informed their understanding of Learning Design after having participated in self-selected MOOCs as part of a 3rd year module in the undergraduate teacher education programme. These pre-service teachers were continuously guided to reflect on their experiences related to Learning Design. These reflections were informed by elements of Authentic Learning and Learning Educators Advanced Pedagogy for the 21st Century (LEAP 21). Reflections were analysed using process coding to code for observable activity and conceptual action. Magnitude coding was used as a post-coding technique to assign values to instances where good understanding and weak understanding of Learning Design existed. It is evident from the findings that the quality of the learning activities within various MOOCs has the potential to influence pre-service teachers' understanding of Learning Design.","PeriodicalId":208344,"journal":{"name":"2015 IST-Africa Conference","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125113325","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}

This study aims to determine the extent to which trust, expectancy, social influence, and incentives will influence mobile interaction with the government. A survey approach was used to sample Capetonians about mobile participation with their local government. Results indicate that respondents were not willing to participate in their local government because they did not trust the government to protect their privacy. However, respondents were willing to use their mobile phones to report damaged infrastructure or service delivery issues. From the various incentives that were suggested, benefit to the community was a popular choice. Recommendations for promoting mobile participation include introducing non-monetary incentives as well as mobile applications that will provide the user with convenience, cost efficiency, and an assurance of their privacy.","PeriodicalId":208344,"journal":{"name":"2015 IST-Africa Conference","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129530407","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}
