Bivariate Ordered Probit Model

The aim of this chapter is to assess the impact of different organizational factors on the success of e-learning programs, in terms of both self-reported satisfaction and the level of learning. Hence, this study adds to the analysis of the efficacy of e-learning models from an organizational perspective by providing some useful insights, which may help to improve decision-making related to employee’s continuing education and satisfaction. This simulation, using a bivariate ordered probit model, shows that economic and indirect economic incentives play a key role in augmenting the level of both satisfaction and learning. This analysis also considers how efficacy of learning programs may thus improve by linking the human resources development policy with results obtained in e-learning courses.

Bivariate Ordered Probit Model

Migration has traditionally been used as a survival strategy in times of financial crisis; however, a debate exists as to whether migration influences poverty on the individual level. The current study analyses the influence of past subjective poverty on migration choice and to determine the impact of migration on current subjective poverty perception. Using a simultaneous bivariate ordered probit model, we found that poorer individuals in Egypt tend to migrate more than others. Migration was found to be a significant determinant of current poverty in Egypt. Finally, migration improved migrant’s financial situation.

This research deals with the issue of distance education in the human resources of banks and specifically of the National Bank of Greece. The purpose of the research was to investigate how distance education affects the human resources of banks in developing their management skills. The research methodology followed was quantitative, while the research tool used was the online questionnaire. The survey sample consisted of 82 people working in the banking sector and their selection was made according to convenient sampling.The results showed that distance education works beneficially for the in-house training of employees in the banking sector. In particular, e-learning programs have been found to contribute to the development of knowledge, work productivity, the acquisition of new skills and the enrichment of existing skills held by employees in the banking sector. It was also clear that the impact of distance education on improving employees skills was multifaceted. Participants were positive about the experience they gained from distance learning programs and want to increase as they state that their benefits vary.The present research is one of the first attempts that aim to record the aspects of e-learning implementation in the banking sector.

The Impact

The study examines the effect of e-learning on the students’ academic performance at Al-Quds Open University. 382 students have been randomly selected from the university's official records where a statistical analysis of the study variables was performed using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences program (SPSS.20).  The study hypotheses were tested by Paired Samples T-tests.The study has revealed that there are statistically significant differences in the students’ academic performance over the implementation of the e-learning strategy with regard to the level of the vast majority of students, gender, educational program, as well as their academic level.The study recommends the necessity of enhancing the e-learning strategy in the higher education institutions to foster the students’ academic performance taking into account the specificity of some learning programs such as the Arabic language programs and the social studies.

Σκοπός της εργασίας είναι η διερεύνηση της επίδρασης της εξ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευσης στη διαδικασία επιμόρφωσης των εν ενεργεία Εκπαιδευτικών Πρωτοβάθμιας και Δευτεροβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης. Έγινε καταγραφή των απόψεων μετά από τη συμμετοχή τους σε προγράμματα εξ αποστάσεως επιμόρφωσης. Το 4ο Περιφερειακό Κέντρο Εκπαιδευτικού Σχεδιασμού (ΠΕΚΕΣ) Κ. Μακεδονίας σε συνεργασία με το «itlab» εργαστήρι πληροφορικής του Διεθνούς Πανεπιστημίου Ελλάδος (ΔΙ.ΠΑ.Ε.) ανταποκρινόμενο στις απαιτήσεις των εκπαιδευτικών για συνέχιση των εξ αποστάσεως επιμορφωτικών προγραμμάτων του σχολικού έτους 2017-2018 υλοποίησε τέσσερα (4) προγράμματα εξ αποστάσεως επιμόρφωσης, με χρήση της πλατφόρμας ασύγχρονης εκπαίδευσης OpeneClass και της πλατφόρμας σύγχρονης εκπαίδευσης BigBlueButton. Με την ολοκλήρωση σε καθένα από τα προγράμματα υλοποιήθηκε έρευνα με ερωτηματολόγια ερωτήσεων κλειστού και ανοικτού τύπου μέσω της πλατφόρμας, ώστε να καταγραφούν οι στάσεις, οι απόψεις και οι προτάσεις των εκπαιδευτικών για την εμπειρία τους κατά την διάρκεια της τηλεπιμόρφωσης καθώς και τα συμπεράσματά τους για την υλοποίηση εξ αποστάσεως επιμορφώσεων γενικότερα. Έγινε αποτίμηση και επισκόπηση των απαιτούμενων εκπαιδευτικών πόρων στην εφαρμογή εξ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευσης. The aim of this program is to investigate the impact of distance learning on teachers training processes of education of primary and secondary teachers in active education. Τhe opinions of the Teachers were recorded, after their attendance of distance learning courses. The 4th PEKES of Central Macedonia in collaboration with the ITlab Computer Lab of the International Hellenic University in response to the demands of teachers for the continuation  distance learning programs of last scholar year (2017-2018) realized four distance learning programs. The courses were developed on the OpeneClass asynchronous training platform, supported by the synchronous BigBlueButton training platform. Α questionnaire of closed-ended questions was answered through the platform in order to capture the opinions of the teachers for their experience of the online training. The required educational resources in distance learning implementation were evaluated and reviewed.

The Impact

The history of usability began almost 20 years ago when computers were about to be used outside the designer and programmer environment. Until the 1980s software was mostly produced and used by designers so usability was taken for granted. In 1983, the first computers providing a graphic interface and a mouse were produced by Apple for distribution on a large scale. The gradual introduction of computers to offices and houses began creating usability problems. The development of computers was guided mainly by the technology available at that time. Gradually, the impact of training costs, errors in the interaction between user and computer, and the evolution of studies regarding the “human factor”, carried out by psychologists and ergonomics experts, led to a reflection on the importance of the target users.
