A tanulmány az infokommunikációs eszközök és az emberi közösségek kapcsolatát és kölcsönhatását vizsgálja a felsőszintű oktatás területén. Az információs és kommunikációs technológiák (infokommunikációs technológiák, továbbiakban IKT) alatt a technológiai eszközök és források különböző készletét értjük, amelyek alkalmasak információk kommunikálására, előállítására, terjesztésére, tárolására és menedzselésére. (Blurton, 1999; Monda, 2014b) A felsőszintű oktatás azért került a fókuszba, mert míg az általános és középiskola rendszerint a hagyományos oktatási formánál maradt, addig a felsőoktatásban már globális szinten az IKT lehetőségeit egyre jobban kihasználó szélesebb tanulási illetve tanítási formák valósultak meg. Az IKT oktatásba való beépüléséhez kapcsolódik az eLearning fogalma. „Az eLearning egy innovatív szemlélet az információk elektronikus szállításához az oktatás számára annak érdekében, hogy a tanulók tudását, képességeit és egyéb teljesítményét növeljék.” (Siritongthaworn et al., 2006, 139). Az eLearning lényege, hogy a tananyagok elektronikus formában elérhetők legyenek és ideális esetben a hallgatóknak többféle módjuk legyen a tanulásra mint például videók, e-bookok, fórumok, wikik stb. formájában.” (Monda, 2014a, 30)* The expected spread of new ICT tools and communities in higher education The paper examines the relations and mutual effects of ICT tools and human communities in the field of higher education. By ICT tools, we refer to the various stocks of tools and sources that are capable of communicating, disseminating, storing and managing information. (Blurton, 1999; Monda, 2014b) Higher education is put into the focus because while public education mostly uses the traditional forms of education, higher education has already implemented a wider spectrum of learning and teaching forms at a global scale. The notion of e-learning is connected to the inclusion of ICT into education.  „E-learning is an innovative way of providing information for education electronically in order that the students’ knowledge, capacities and other performances be improved.” (Siritongthaworn et al., 2006, 139). „The core of e-learning is that the learning resources are available electronically, and in optimal cases the students have the possibility to conduct various forms of learning, e.g. using videos, e-books, fora, wikis etc.” (Monda, 2014a, 30)

Face To Face Learning

With the advancements in communications technology brought about by the advent of the Internet and World Wide Web, attention has been drawn to Open and Distance Learning (ODL) as a mode for teaching and learning. In Malaysia, the establishment of ODL universities such as Open University Malaysia (OUM) has expanded the role of ICT in learning and knowledge generation. By leveraging on Internet technology, ODL universities are able to transmit education across the country and even globally. ODL sets about making quality e-learning and e-content more accessible to both facilitators and learners. Utilising this method, new opportunities are continuously created to make higher education more accessible to those who seek to improve and upgrade themselves. This paper examines OUM's practice of using the innovative technology of online learning and teaching to make higher education easily accessible to those that seek it. With greater advancements in technology, the future of higher education may lie more with ODL than with traditional face-to-face learning.

Abstract Background Higher education is responsible for providing education that meets international benchmarks relevant to the needs of the international community. Due to the increase of digital tools in higher education, the possibility of sharing learning resources across nations has expanded. In the current project, a Norwegian university invited universities in Spain and the United Kingdom to adapt and translate e-learning resources originally developed for Norwegian nursing students for use within their respective Bachelor in Nursing programmes. Aim The aim of the current study was to gain insights into the usability and value for learning of e-compendiums shared and implemented across three European universities. Methods The study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design and included nursing students from the University of Nottingham, Valencia Catholic University, and the University of Stavanger. Data were collected in Autumn 2017 through a questionnaire adapted from the validated “Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning Reusable Learning Object evaluation questionnaire” The questionnaire consisted of 19 items that included two aspects: e-compendiums’ value for learning and e-compendiums’ usability. The different study sites were compared using a binary logistic regression analysis. Subgroups of students were compared based on their gender and age. Results A total of 480 nursing students participated in the study. The e -compendiums were overall positively rated, especially for reinforcing and retaining knowledge. Compared to the students from the University of Stavanger, students from Valencia Catholic University rated the e-compendiums more positively in most aspects of learning. Students from University of Nottingham found the e-compendiums to be more important for learning engagement compared to students at the Norwegian study site, and no differences were found in any other aspects of learning. Younger students rated the interactivity and visual components as more important compared to older students. Conclusions Students from the University of Nottingham and Valencia Catholic University seem to accept the e-compendiums despite the fact that they were originally developed for use in another country. We argue that, when sharing e-learning resources across countries, an adaptation and translation process that includes a multicultural and multidisciplinary perspective should be carried out.

Views And Perceptions

The introduction of e-learning in higher education has brought radical changes in the way undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are designed and delivered. University students now have access to their courses anytime, anywhere, which makes e-learning and m-learning popular and fashionable among university students globally. Nevertheless, instructors are now challenged, as they have to adopt new pedagogies in learning and teaching. This chapter explores the adoption of m-learning at universities in the Kingdom of Bahrain, as well as the relevant current developments and challenges related to the major stakeholders (educators and students) in higher education. It mainly investigates the educators' views and perceptions of m-learning, as well as its future potential in higher education. Most of the educators use m-learning tools to some limited extent, and there is still opportunity to reach full integration with curriculum and the blended learning approach. Further, it is proposed that professional development should be provided to instructors to enable them to use the available new technologies in an appropriate and effective way.

Innovative Approaches

This paper suggests that for academics to be good teachers, especially in the context of e-Learning, they need to understand learning. This is especially important with the associated changes in higher education as we move towards the knowledge society. E-Learning is embedded in learning and, without an understanding of what learning encompasses, it can be difficult for academics to develop into good teachers. It is suggested that, although this may appear to be a simple aim, it is not necessarily understood or applied by university academics in their teaching. One inference is that university teachers need to develop a theory of learning and teaching. Academics may have a 'philosophy of teaching', but in many cases even this may not be consciously held or successfully implemented. A program for promoting conceptual change in academics' approaches to teaching is outlined.
