A Longitudinal Qualitative Study On Teachers’ Technology Barriers To Distance Learning: A School For Students With Dyslexia, Holli Bice, Hengtao Tang

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

The purpose of this qualitative case study was to develop an account of teachers’ perception of barriers to technology integration throughout distance learning. COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to adopt distance learning to cope with the crisis, but whether teachers are prepared for this change is unknown. Therefore, this study described teachers’ experience of technology integration over the course of distance learning and identified the barriers they faced at a small, private school for students with dyslexia. The findings found distance learning influenced teachers’ technological knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about technology integration. Barriers to technology integration were identified by all participants, …

Benefits And Challenges Of The Educational Metaverse: Evidence From Quantitative And Qualitative Data, Jiarong Liang, Gege Li, Feng Zhang, Dongmei Fan, Heng Luo

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

The metaverse, as a more advanced form of virtual reality, has great potential for education because of its unique affordances for enhancing immersion, interaction, and presence. However, because its development is still in its infancy, there are few empirical studies on the application of metaverse in education, with insufficient empirical evidence from the literature regarding its effectiveness and valued design features, as well as its advantages and disadvantages as a technology-enhanced learning environment. Utilizing the case study method, this study designed and implemented a 40-minute psychology course with 31 undergraduate students in the metaverse using the Virbela platform and collected …


Factors Influencing Learning Intention Of Advanced Placement Moocs: Insights From An Investigation Into Information Technology Adoption, Kuo-Liang Ou, Wen-Chi Fong Jan 2023

Factors Influencing Learning Intention Of Advanced Placement Moocs: Insights From An Investigation Into Information Technology Adoption, Kuo-Liang Ou, Wen-Chi Fong

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) have attracted recent scholarly attention, mainly because MOOCs have effectively made higher education accessible. However, MOOCs tend to have low completion rates, and many scholars have attempted to remedy this by investigating the psychological, cognitive, physiological, and demographic factors affecting completion rates. Nevertheless, most studies have rarely investigated the student’s information technology (IT) background, focusing instead on self-awareness, self-recognition, intrinsic motivation, or external factors. Thus, this study adopted the technology acceptance model (TAM) to explore factors affecting MOOC learning intention, specifically in advanced placement (AP) MOOCs. This study also recruited 435 student participants from a …


Research On The Construction Of Data Governance Framework In Vocational Colleges, Qian Zhou, Kaiyu Yi, Xiangyu Chen Jan 2023

Research On The Construction Of Data Governance Framework In Vocational Colleges, Qian Zhou, Kaiyu Yi, Xiangyu Chen

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

The data governance framework is a critical reference for organizations to develop data governance plans, carry out data governance processes, and evaluate the effects of data governance. This study employs content analysis based on the existing literature to extract the core elements of vocational college data governance, including 17 primary indicators and 32 secondary indicators from the perspectives of process, organization, and content. Based on the 5W1H principle, a theoretical prototype of the data governance framework for vocational colleges is established. Following this, two rounds of expert consultations were conducted with twelve experts in data governance from vocational colleges, focusing …


Flexibility And Usability: Focal Point Of Graduate Students’ Knowledge Level Of The Features Of Sakai Learning Management System, Jonathan Odame, Clarke Ebow Yalley Jan 2023

Flexibility And Usability: Focal Point Of Graduate Students’ Knowledge Level Of The Features Of Sakai Learning Management System, Jonathan Odame, Clarke Ebow Yalley

Journal of Educational Technology Development and Exchange (JETDE)

Coupled with the global pandemic (COVID-19) and technological advancement, the SAKAI learning management system (LMS) was initiated to deliver synchronous, asynchronous, blended instruction to break the artificial boundaries towards delivering quality education. This requires students to acquire the requisite knowledge to develop self-regulated skills to navigate through inbuilt features of SAKAI LMS to ensure usability, flexibility, and accessibility. To ascertain the usability, flexibility and accessibility of the SAKAI LMS, this study sought to examine the knowledge level of graduate students on the features of SAKAI LMS. The cross-sectional survey design was used to gather data. Using the SAKAI LMS, the …
