This study assesses the use of an m-learning system by faculty members in Saudi Arabia using a new approach and methodology. Optimum use of educational technology requires consideration of requirements, obstacles and opportunities expected from user interaction with such systems and tools. While the use of m-learning in Saudi Arabia is relatively new, different research studies have investigated the use of m-learning in Saudi Arabia using different models. Most of the presented models investigated the acceptance and use from student perspectives, with little consideration of adoption by faculty members, their use of m-learning systems and their concerns (i.e. facilitators and barriers) as users. Some of the used models managed to provide significant results in relation to m-learning use, while others were found to lack a systematic and appropriate methodology. Concern Based Adoption Model (CBAM), which is widely used in the USA, Canada and (more recently) the Middle East (particularly Jordan), was used in this study to investigate m-learning adoption as an educational technology in Saudi Arabia. This framework provides tools to evaluate the use of educational technology within educational settings. This framework has not previously been used in Saudi Arabian educational research literature, and it is believed that the output will be valuable for enhancing the level of concern, adoption and use of m-learning in the future.

The Impact

This study aims to reveal the impact of educational technology on the efficiency and improvement of the educational process at Aqaba University College. The study followed the descriptive-analytical approach, and a random population consisting of twenty-seven (27) faculty members were selected to represent the sample community. The independent variable in this study is the education technology, while the dependent variable is the educational system. The questionnaire is distributed among all selected twenty-seven faculty members for data collection, and the SPSS software is used to analyze the data. The analysis of the study found that educational technology has a positive impact represented in the highly improved educational process at Aqaba University College. At the same time, the challenges were the material resources needed for educational technology.

Descriptive Method

Teachers can facilitate students’ learning and enrich their learning activities by using instructional materials (IMs). They help the teachers in communicating to learners. As students differ in their responses to IMs, it is the responsibility of the teacher to use and select the most appropriate instructional materials that will promote learning among students. Hence, the researcher conducted this study to determine the IMs used by the faculty members of Batangas State University. The researcher used the descriptive method of research and utilized survey and interview to gather data from the 84 faculty members. Findings revealed that many were using textbooks, PowerPoint presentation, workbooks, manuals and modules while few were using magazines, news articles, monograph and audio/ video. Problems encountered in the utilization of IMs included unavailability, inadequacy and quality of materials and the faculty’s inadequate background on the manipulation of the material. Only 31 developed IMs, but many have plans of developing one. These lead to the conclusions that faculty-respondents mainly used traditional IMs and that availability and quality influenced their utilization. The study recommends that support for the utilization of IMs should be enhanced and accessibility plan be established to promote timely adoption and utilization of IMs.  Keywords - Educational technology, education, instructional materials, utilization, descriptive-survey, Philippines

In this paper, the benefits and drawbacks of incorporating technology into outdoor education are discussed. The data was collected during an inquiry based project for an educational technology course. This research is important because of the growing epidemic of children staying indoors with their technology rather than going and enjoying outside. There always seems to be a divide between outdoor education, or being outdoors in general, and modern technology. However, by using modern technology students may be engaged and drawn into outdoor education. Therefore, incorporating technology into outdoor education may be something to consider. This study analyzed the possible effects on students of incorporating technology into an experiential learning opportunity of being outdoors. The participants of this study were predominantly Education students at Mount Royal University, Education faculty members, as well as people from other occupational backgrounds who felt strongly about outdoor education.

This paper presents a continuous work related to the status and engagement with e-learning systems by faculty members in Jordanian universities. Previous research study entitled (Evaluating E-Learning System Use by CBAM-Stages of Concern Methodology in Jordanian Universities, 2015) focused on defining stages of concern using one tool that is presented by CBAM Framework. The CBAM Framework provides another tool that is used specifically for measuring level of use of any educational technology. This research focused on using CBAM framework for the first time in Jordanian Higher educational context in order to present a systematic and well-defined methodology for evaluation that will be used for defining the exact engagement with e-learning. It is believed that the results of this research can be reflected positively on universities future policies and practices for developing the use of this educational technology in Jordan

Professional Development Programme

Universities globally have realised that they need to educate instructors, lecturers and teachers in how to integrate technology into education. Some higher education institutions have already introduced professional development programmes in educational technology to ensure that technology will be effectively utilised, which in turn will enhance the quality of their educational practices. In this chapter, a case study of the implementation component of the e-TUTO programme will be discussed in depth with the findings from the participants who participated in the programme during June 2005 to June 2006. An overview of professional development programme in the use of educational technology to assist lecturers to implement technology-enhanced courses successfully is presented, as well as an overly demanding e-TUTO programme, which might hinder the successful implementation of a technology-enhanced course. The professional development programme should empower faculty members to utilise and integrate technology to enhance the quality of teaching and learning.

In this paper we have outlined a model for instructional improvement which stresses working directly with university faculty members on their teaching skills. Integral to the workings of the model is the constructive combination of educational technology and human resources. An example of how the model is implemented with a faculty member illustrates its feasibility.
