The paper aims to investigate the usability effect of an integrated MEMS called Towards Student-Centered Integration of Multimedia E-Learning (TSIME) used at the University of Zimbabwe. This study adopted a quantitative approach, where two self-administered questionnaires were used to gather data on a sample of students and lecturers (n = 492) across ten faculties. Design quality, interaction and feedback, content availability and ethical issues were key independent variable constructs while attitude towards use, overall satisfaction, and likelihood to use TSIME being dependent variables. The results were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The structural Equation Model was used to measure how multimedia design features influence overall satisfaction and likelihood to use. The results showed that ethical issues and content availability were not influencing the use of TSIME while attitude influenced overall usage and satisfaction. Interaction and feedback, as well as design quality, have a significant effect on the likelihood to use TSIME.","PeriodicalId":45327,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Management & E-Learning-An International Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45844336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Blackboard, characterized as one of the technological educational systems, is one of the leading and extensive Learning Management Systems adopted by most universities. However, literature showed that a missing link appears between Blackboard adoption and Blackboard poor usage in teaching and learning. Therefore, this study aims to gauge the perceptions of students toward using Blackboard Collaborate in learning English as a Foreign Language academic writing. Online survey was conducted and distributed to 248 respondents. This study is quantitative in nature, employing Technology Acceptance Model theory to check Learning Management System acceptance at Saudi Electronic University in Saudi Arabia. The findings showed that all the constructs were relatively strong and had positive relationships; they were correlated with each other and the whole six hypotheses were supported as well. In this paper, the proposed model indicates that Attitude toward Use is the strongest predictor of Behaviour Intention. This study offers implications for further studies.","PeriodicalId":45327,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Management & E-Learning-An International Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46922583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the key stakeholders in education, students, parents, and teachers may have different perceptions and attitudes towards game-based learning, which have a great impact on its adoption and dissemination. However, there is a lack of research examining how the perceptions of different stakeholders towards digital educational games may differ and influence each other. This study aimed to address the gap by investigating the perceptions of students, parents and teachers towards digital educational games, the differences and relationships between their perceptions, and possible sources of their perceptions. The study was conducted with 415 participants in China, a country that has tension between play and learning in its traditional values. The results reveal that most students, parents and teachers have certain experience playing mobile games, but with limited knowledge about educational digital games. Students have more positive perceptions towards digital educational games than teachers and parents, and the perceptions of teachers and parents are correlated with each other. After an introduction to an educational digital game, students’ and parents’ intention to recommend game-based learning increased, which, however, was not the case for teachers. Implications of the findings were discussed.","PeriodicalId":45327,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Management & E-Learning-An International Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43153985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 116 responses to an online survey were received from the instructors and administrators in vocational training institutions. The findings of the study are summarized as follows. First, e-learning content was found mostly used as supplementary materials in blended or classroom learning. Second, the main reasons for not using e-learning were related to the low training effectiveness in e-learning and the difficulty of finding appropriate e-learning content. Third, the dominant reasons that vocational training institutions believed they might need e-learning were related to content reuse and e-learning flexibility. Fourth, National Competency Standards-based content, theory-focused content, and practice alternative content were found to be most useful e-learning content in vocational training institutions. Fifth, the most preferred type of e-learning content was smaller modules developed for learning specific knowledge or skills. Lastly, vocational training institutions were found to be hesitant about using e-learning in the future because of the lower training effectiveness in e-learning and the lack of interaction among learners and instructors in e-learning contexts. Suggestions for practitioners and researchers are provided on the basis of the findings.","PeriodicalId":45327,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Management & E-Learning-An International Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47970622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paradigms serve as the bases for knowledge management research and practice. Basing on a critical review of literature and drawing from tacit insights, the paper reveals that positivist managers and researchers tend to focus on explicit knowledge while paying little attention to tacit knowledge. In the same vein, interpretivists focus on tacit knowledge while ignoring explicit knowledge. Even when the post-positivist ontology provides useful insights, many managers and researchers may lack adequate skills to apply such insights in theory and practice. Pragmatism focuses on actions that possess instrumental value, yet there is a tendency to focus on personal value rather than organisational value. Postmodernism highlights the central nature of power structures and power struggle all of which tend to affect knowledge management practices. Critical realism prioritises tacit knowledge as the main source of competitiveness, yet tacit knowledge is insufficient on its own. The paper contributes to the understanding and debate of knowledge management research and practice.","PeriodicalId":45327,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Management & E-Learning-An International Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47984671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To obtain a stronger understanding of the opinions of teachers and students in Hong Kong during this period, an anonymous online survey was distributed to all teachers and students at a higher education institute. Overall, 48 teachers and 425 students responded to the survey. This paper specifically analyzes the responses to open-ended questions from the survey to identify key topics and concepts. Open coding was used to obtain key terms, which were further grouped into categories. Results indicated that higher education teachers and students had similar issues (e.g., access to digital devices and software) and benefits (e.g., flexible scheduling and time arrangements) regarding online education. However, some categories were reported as both issues and benefits by teachers and students (e.g., communication/interaction), demonstrating that individual circumstances, abilities, preferences, and experiences, may influence satisfaction levels. Furthermore, results indicated that the delivery of quality online education enforced during a pandemic requires a multi-factorial and tailored approach. The information presented in this study will help higher education institutes to develop, redefine, and re-conceptualize online learning initiatives.","PeriodicalId":45327,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Management & E-Learning-An International Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45264463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the literature shows a proliferation of studies exploring various issues of applying ICT in teacher development and teaching practice, there is a lack of overview of the literature in this field. This study aimed to address the gap by reviewing the literature in two themes: (1) ICT in teacher professional development (TPD), and (2) ICT in teaching practice. Six journals of a high impact in the field of teaching and teacher education were selected, from which 85 articles involving ICT applications and published from 2013 to 2019 were identified. Among them, 18 empirical articles highly relevant to the two themes were analysed. The content analysis of these publications identified a set of specific ICT applications in TPD and in teaching practice. Moreover, the analysis revealed the key features of these ICT applications in terms of their functions, their effects on teaching and teacher development, the factors influencing their applications, and the problems in existing applications.","PeriodicalId":45327,"journal":{"name":"Knowledge Management & E-Learning-An International Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45063586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
