Factors Influencing Learning Performance in VLE
Source publication
Using Internet technology to develop and support university online education programs has become a hot research topic in recent years. Online learning supported by technology is very different from traditional learning in traditional classroom, but many key issues influencing learning performance in online education programs have not been empirical...

... factors influence learning effectiveness and performance, including teaching pedagogy, support technology, profile of student, profile of instructor, etc. Figure 1 depicts a general learning framework in VLE [15]. Teaching pedagogy and technology are two of the most important factors influencing learning performance in VLE (e.g., [11], [12], [4], [15]). Based upon the above literature review, a conceptual research framework for the current study is shown in Figure ...

In an academic world largely dominated by instructor-facilitated learning environments (i.e., lecture halls and course management software), our research implements and measures the impact of a student-owned and operated virtual learning environment. Adopting an Action Design research methodology, we look to expand scholarships and build communitie...

... Course evaluation by learners (1=poor; 5=excellent) The duration of the test was 4 weeks and, at the end of the course, the students have been invited to answer to a questionnaire designed to capture their evaluation about didactical and technological issues, and to collect further insights. These sections of the questionnaire have been set up according to the main contributions of Huang and Luce (2003) and Liaw (2008). The questionnaire included 20 closed questions with a five-point Likert scale (1 for poor evaluation and 5 for excellent), as commonly applied in online education research (Roberts, Irani, Telg, & Lundy, 2005). ...

Some researchers focused on the financial impact and return on the investment related to elearning [59,60]; others focused simply on the performance of e-learning platform [61], or on the quality of contents and digital resources [62].

Blended Learning (BL) is considered a promising pedagogical approach. Some researches demonstrated that students’ satisfaction is higher for BL courses compared to completely online or face-to-face (F2F) courses. Moreover, the explosion of web 2.0 tools and the success of the ‘‘read-write Web’’ are reconfiguring the individual and collaborative blended learning processes. Based on this assumption, this paper investigates the effectiveness of web 2.0 BL for the design and delivery of a pilot course on e-business topics. Two experimentation have been organized involving undergraduates engineering students of the University of Jordan. According to the obtained results assessing students’ reaction, learning and behavior, the BL model proposed in the article revealed more effective than traditional F2F learning. A survey conducted at the end of the course also showed that students were satisfied with the pedagogical approach, and their academic achievements were also significantly improved. Findings demonstrate that successful BL programs require innovative curriculum design strategy based on new principles such as: a) the involvement of heterogeneous stakeholders in the course’s design phase; b) the focus on competence development rather than on knowledge transfer; c) the choice of team work as an additional component to evaluate individual students’ performances; d) presence of remote and F2F interactions among peers and between teachers and students; e) the usage of web 2.0 tools as enablers of collaborative learning processes and social networking; f) continuous tutoring both for content and technological issues. These findings can help engineering colleges and universities to design and offer more effective learning courses

This paper presents an approach to conducting digital signal processing (DSP) laboratory by using an integrated leaning methodology (ILM), combining remote-access and on-site experimentation. The suggested approach is based on integrating on-site and distance learning environments, using Web-based communication techniques and remote monitoring of laboratory equipment. According to this approach, the students will combine, during the DSP lab, on-site lab sessions and remote-controlled experimentation. To allow remote access to the laboratory equipment, the specific Web-based learning environment will be developed. Such integration of on-site learning with remote-access experimentation from remote location offers a powerful tool, especially for students with learning disabilities. The proposed approach is implemented at 'AFEKA Tel Aviv College of Engineering' as part of undergraduate students' curriculum in electrical and electronic engineering.
Distance learning approach as an alternative or complementary way to make Romanian education system starts at ensuring quality and compliance criteria in educational matters. Preparation for life concept, which was long a goal of Romanian educational systems, has become redundant in view of the enormous changes in Romanian society open due to technological and economic change. Thirty years ago, lifelong education can be regarded as an option for an age with more free time. It has now become a necessity. For education and training have become segmented and diversified in line with the various demands of consumers who pay for educational modules tailored to their needs. We must take in consideration the needs and learning students' performance in e-learning process.
This paper presents an approach to conducting Digital Signal Processing (DSP) laboratory by using a new learning methodology.
The suggested methodology is based on integration of the on-site and distance learning environments. The pilot of the proposed
approach was implemented at AFEKA — Tel Aviv College of Engineering as part of undergraduate students’ curriculum in Electrical
and Electronic Engineering during the spring semester 2007, and this paper is accompanied with a description of pilot results.
