This article reports the experience of teachers and trainers involved in a collaborative learning network using a blog tool. The experience was developed in 13 Technological Learning Centers (TLC), belonging to the Regional Directorate of Teaching (strategically positioned in 13 cities of the State of Tocantins-Brazil). The purpose of this article is to describe the network structure and the innovations in collaborative learning relationships, and to analyze the collaborative learning network in terms of topology, time in activity, frequency of access and quantity of publications. The results showed that in terms of access, there is a period of more interaction and updating of posts in all blogs, but there was a discontinuity of use by some members of the network. Meanwhile, the quantitative of access revealed that even blogs that are more than 3 years without new publications, they remain accessed. The analysis of the network served as an instrument for monitoring and evaluating the TLC actions to support decision making in education public policies of Tocantins state.","PeriodicalId":52947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distance Education and ELearning","volume":"20 1","pages":"60-68"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89024916","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 used Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain the behavior of using MMK, in the meantime, we premised that user experience to the internet service and the acceptance to the application of the new technology could also affect it in the multichannel and multimedia retailing environment. So we used two dimensions, Interactive and Technology Readiness, to describe above circumstances and made assumption that these two dimensions could be the external variable of TAM. Final, confirming these relations by SEM was our research method in statistic. After analyzing data from Online-survey by AMOS, the results indicated that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use (two factors in TAM) were significant influence on the behavior of using MMK, moreover, Technology Readiness also could be antecedent variable to the TAM. But, as moderator, Interactive did not have the interaction effect in this research. Therefore, the conclusion implies that maybe it is a good idea to corporations who try to improve their usage in MMK via developing the mobile channel.","PeriodicalId":52947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distance Education and ELearning","volume":"97 1","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79466802","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 research proposed the DEMATEL approach to evaluate possible critical success factors (CSFs) influencing organizational decision to adopt e-learning facilities in the level of primary education system (PES). A quantitative survey method was performed through the structured questionnaire. The questionnaire involved pairwise comparison of elements on a five-point scale ranging from 0 to 4 respectively (0 = No influence, 1 = Low influence, 2 = Medium influence 3 = High influence 4 = Very High influence). The survey questionnaire was distributed to 14 (n=14) experts of educational department for obtaining their judgment. MATLAB-2019 a, SPSS-23 and MS Excel were used to analyze the data. The result of this study revealed that the expert’s member is more concerned about human and technology related dimensions that are substantially higher than those of other dimensions with influence value of prominence and relation (r±c) 0.5602, and 1.5690 respectively. This study proposed an approach for the strategic planning of e-learning facilities within the primary education system based on effective group decision making from the perspective of human, technology, organization, and environmental dimensions’ processes. However, the government should allocate enough budget to ensure quality education based on the core dimensions of HTOE model. The authors recommended to the policy makers to incorporate e-learning facilities in the primary education institutes based on the principles of e-learning systems under the access to information (A2I) national project.","PeriodicalId":52947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distance Education and ELearning","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85159824","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}

The previous literature has limited discussion on how the clustered firms through constantly renovate their own abilities and by complying with the institutional legitimacy to gain recognition and support among the other members of the cluster so that they can gain access to cluster’s resources to create and maintain its competitive advantage. Although there are researches focusing on how industrial structure help clustered firms to generate competitive advantages, some empirical studies show that in a fast-changing environment, firms usually fail to adapt to sudden policy or technological changes. Thus, based on dynamic absorption capacity and institutional legitimacy, this study seeks to explore how the clustered firms absorb, learn, integrate and exploit new abilities continuously, as well as develop and utilize external knowledge and capabilities to adapt to rapid environmental changes. In addition, emerging economies have attracted an increasing amount of attention because of rapidly expanding economies and rapid-growth markets provide tremendous business opportunities, especially the China which affects many countries’ economies in the word. The results of this study express that the dynamic absorptive capabilities have positive effect on a clustered firm’s performance, but if a clustered firm always conform to institutional legitimacy which will result in performance dilemma, which is different from other previous research.","PeriodicalId":52947,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Distance Education and ELearning","volume":"27 1","pages":"145-166"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89361359","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}

As one of the most of important learning outcomes students are enabled to apply complex science of materials on the appropriate selection of engineering materials in different designs. Here knowledge on the correlation of materials properties, microstructure and their intended manipulation is substantial. The ability to combine these three columns of material science are not well constituted in one final exam. Therefore peer-to-peer lecture film supported inverted classroom scenarios were established to work in the course. These are provided via a highly structured moodle course following the blended learning approach. The special design of the moodle course gives students the chance to cumulatively accomplish micro-grades via multiple activities, such as tests, lectures, presentations, forum discussions and written homework and additionally glossary entries. Micro grades are then summed to obtain the overall course grade. Improved learning outcomes are demonstrated in high quality class discussions and most -important to studentsin better grades (average B) compared to those being assessed by one final exam only (average C+). The majority of students agreed on enhanced study skills when forced to study throughout the entire semester and solve hands-on problems instead of learning theory intensely towards the end of the semester.
