Book excerpt: This book discusses the adoption of learning management systems (LMS) in higher education institutions. It presents influential predictors that may impact instructors’ behavioral intention to adopt learning management systems in the context of Arab culture, as well as a unique model of technology acceptance that draws on and combines previous technology adoption models (i.e., a modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology model – UTAUT2). Moreover, this study extends the UTAUT2 model by including Hofstede’s (1980) cultural dimensions, and technology awareness as the moderators of the model. It also describes the explanatory technique approach used to collect quantitative data from the instructors at higher education institutions in Saudi Arabia and were analyzed with structural equation modeling using SPSS/Amos software. The findings revealed that facilitating conditions were the strongest predictor of behavioral intention to adopt an LMS, followed by performance expectancy and hedonic motivation, technology awareness, and cultural dimensions exerted a moderating influence on instructors’ behavioral intention to use LMS in their teaching. By including new constructs, this becomes the first study of its kind exploring instructors’ use of LMS in Higher Educational Institutions of Saudi Arabia and other countries of the Middle East. It offers practical insights for a broad range of researchers and professionals at higher education institutions and serves as a reference guide for designers of learning management systems (e.g., blackboard systems), policymakers, and the Ministry of Education staff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive insight into the benefits and advantages of adopting technology-driven learning as a central pillar of the universities’ teaching, learning, research, and social-responsibility strategies. Despite the importance of adopting technology-enhanced learning within higher education institutions, Arab countries are still slow to change. Arab Universities are facing the need to adopt new methods of learning to serve the demands of a changing demography in the higher education community as well as the requirements of Industry 4.0 and Society 4.0. E-Learning and distance education are not just about technology, but they are about education, pedagogy, curriculum design, research, and innovation. The book also discusses the best methods to implement these modes of learning while taking into consideration all the hurdles and challenges specific to the Arab world. The needs of students (undergraduate and postgraduate), faculty, and the university at large are considered while drawing on the best quality-assurance practices to ensure the quality of education remains uncompromised. Also featured in this book are experiences from Arab Universities and recommendations for improvements that facilitate the use of education technology tools as part the university’s pedagogy to harness the full potential for implementing e-learning and distance education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, due to factors of ICT infrastructural and broadband maturation, rising levels of educational attainment and computer literacy, and diversification strategies, e-learning has exploded in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. However, significant barriers remain in the region’s e-learning development: lack of research on outcomes and effectiveness, paucity of Arabic language learning objects, monopolies and high cost of telecommunications, cultural taboos, accreditation, censorship, and teacher training. This unique volume is the first comprehensive effort to describe the history, development, and current state of e-learning in each of the 20 MENA countries from Algeria to Yemen. Each entry is expertly written by a specialist who is acutely familiar with the state of e-learning in their respective country, and concludes with a bibliography of key reports, peer-reviewed books and articles, and web resources. E-Learning in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) proves itself as a vital compendium for a wide readership that includes academics and students, transnational program directors, international education experts, MENA government departments, commercial vendors and investors, and ICT development and regulatory agencies involved in e-learning in the Middle East.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate three areas related to LMS adoption at universities: first, the relationships between faculty personal characteristics (age, gender, academic ranking, and years of teaching experiences) and their adoption of learning management systems (LMS); second, organizational support related to LMS adoption; and third, concern of time and fear of technology as inhibiting factors of using an LMS. The research compares faculty members at Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas, and faculty members at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia. This study is related to the educational technology field in the higher education environment. Many universities in Saudi Arabia are in the early stage of adopting and using e-learning tools such as LMSs. There is a need to illustrate the best practice processes of adopting new technology in higher education contexts. This study should help instructors and university leaders determine the significant factors of successful adoption of educational technology tools. Rogers' (2003) diffusion of innovation theory was used to provide insights and guide the study as well as design the research questions. His work mentioned that about 49% to 87% of innovation adoption can be predicted according to five perceived attributes: (1) relative advantage, (2) compatibility, (3) complexity, (4) trialability, (5) observability. These data were obtained from 403 faculty members at Kansas State University. The data analysis showed that faculty members' personal characteristics influenced their LMS adoption. A MANOVA Pillai's Trace test results showed a statistical difference between faculty characteristics (age, p = .017 gender, p = .009 years of teaching experiences p = .042 and academic rank p = .000) and Rogers' five attributes of innovation at Kansas State University. Conversely, at King Saud University the data were obtained from 104 faculty members. The data analysis showed no influence between faculty members' personal characteristics and Rogers' five attributes of innovation. An ANOVA test was conducted and there was a statistical difference among faculty members at Kansas State University in all four independent variables (age, p = .004 gender, p = .000, years of teaching experience p = .012 and academic ranking, p = .008) and their perception of the organizational support related to their adoption of the LMS. On the other hand, there was no a statistical difference among faculty members at King Saud University in all four independent variables (age, gender, academic ranking, and years of teaching experience) and their perception of the organizational support related to their adoption of the LMS. The MANOVA Pillai's trace test result showed a statistical difference between faculty academic rank and fear of change of technology p = .021 and no statistical significance for time concern at Kansas State University. However, there was no a statistical difference for faculty members at King Saud University concerning all independent variables (age, gender, academic ranking, and years of teaching experience) with fear of change of technology and no statistical significance for time concern, as well. The study concluded with a recommendation for Kansas State University and King Saud University regarding learning management system adoption. In addition, important considerations for professional development and training among faculty members were also recommended. Finally, a recommendation for future research in the field of educational technology was proposed.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing influence of technologies on all aspects of life, including the education sector, requires developing countries to follow the example of the developed countries and adopt technology in their education systems. Libya has been able to boost its economic and educational position over the years, and this brings it to the concern of applying modern methods of learning into its Higher Education (HE) system. E-Learning has been advocated by several university professors and researchers as one of pertinent method in the education system in the current society context of busy schedules and dual responsibilities of adult learners. However, due to many cultural, governmental and technological reasons, the state of e-Learning in Libya's HE has not been to an adequate level. This paper aims to shows the outcomes of several studies, which discover the effect of national and international ethos and methods to education on the usefulness of manipulating, applying and utilizing e-Learning schemes and machinery in Libya's Higher Education institutions. The writers have advanced an inquiry form, which was finished by ripe Libyan students registered for PhD educations in the United Kingdom, who are also permanent professors at the Universities of Tripoli, Garyounis, El-Zawia and Aljabal-Algharbi. The measurable and qualitative inquiry of the replies show numerous complications connected to the utilization of e-Learning and, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Libyan universities.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past two decades, rapid advances in information and communications technology (ICT) have encouraged some educators to opt for technological learning environments to support teaching and learning. As a result E-learning has grown to be an essential element of vast Higher education institutions around the world with large investments to improve the quality of teaching and learning. In spite of all these investments on E-learning facilities, academics face challenges that discourage them from changing to this mode of delivery.The goal of this study was to explore and examine academics perceptions on the factors that inhibit the adoption of E-learning in Higher education in Oman. The key focus of the study is on the examination of how the institutional and individual barriers affect the adoption of E-learning by academics. Thirty academics from three teaching faculties at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) participated in this study. Through teachers' semi-structured interviews and LMS use statistics, this study signifies the factors that hinder academics use of E-learning.The findings from this study reveal (a) that academics have positive perceptions of the use of E-learning in teaching and learning, (b) that academics perceive that lack of specialized training, lack of solid IT infrastructure, lack of accessible E-learning support, and lack of E-learning strategy are the main institutional barriers to academics' E-learning adoption, and (c) that academics believe that lack of awareness of E-learning effectiveness, lack of knowledge of integrating E-learning in teaching, and resistance to change were the main individual academics' barriers to E-learning adoption. Furthermore academics with more E-learning support structures have more positive attitudes and adoption level of E-learning. The findings from this study deepen our understanding of E-learning adoption in the higher education context in Oman through examining the issues associated with institutional barriers and their effect on individual barriers of academics' adoption of E-learning technologies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first academically rigorous description and critical analysis of the Higher Education system in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and of the vision, strategies and policy imperatives for the future development of Saudi universities. The government of Saudi Arabia has recognized in both policy and practice the necessity of developing its university system to world-class standard. Significantly increasing access and participation in Higher Education across a range of traditional and non-traditional disciplines is directly relevant to the future social and economic growth of the country. This book addresses the way in which Saudi Arabia is moving to develop a quality university system that balances the need for students to gain the knowledge, skills and ‘ways of doing’ necessary to operate effectively on the world stage while simultaneously maintaining and demonstrating the fundamental values of the Islamic religion and culture. The book provides a description and critical analysis of the key components of the Saudi Higher Education system, and of system-level responses to the challenges and opportunities facing Saudi universities. It is written by a team of Saudi academics and authors of international standing from non-Saudi universities so as to provide both internal and external perspectives on all issues and to place information and ideas in the context of the international Higher Education scene.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed-method study was to examine the concerns of teachers in middle and secondary schools as they began to implement the Future Gate LMS in Saudi Arabia. A sample of 1045 teachers participated in this study, who represent teachers from schools selected by the Ministry of Education to implement the transformation to digital learning through the Future Gate LMS project. The study examined teachers' concerns through the lens of the Concern Based Adoption Model (CBAM) framework. The data in this sequential mixed-method study were obtained through two phases. The first phase was quantitative data through the Stage of Concern Questionnaire (SoCQ) and the second phase was qualitative data through an open-ended question on the SoCQ as well as semi-structured interviews. The results from the SoCQ indicated that teachers in the middle and secondary schools who were selected to implement the Future Gate LMS were in the early concern stages. The highest percentile score was Stage 0 Unconcern 87% followed by Stage 1 Personal 84%, Stage 2 Informational 83%, and Stage 3 Management 73%. The lowest percentile score was in Stage 4 Consequences 54% followed by Stage 5 Collaboration 59% and Stage 6 Refocusing 69%. A one-way MANOVA test revealed a statistically significant difference between teachers' stages of concerns and their gender and type of degree. It also revealed statistically significant differences between teachers' stages of concerns and their technographic characteristics (prior experience in educational technology use, type of professional development in educational technology, duration of professional development in educational technology, type of professional development in Future Gate LMS, and duration of professional development in Future Gate LMS). One-way MANOVA also revealed statistically significant differences between teachers' stages of concerns and technology availability in the classroom (technology in the classroom and Internet access in the classroom). The qualitative data analysis indicated that the top three concerns of teachers were centered around technology and Internet in the school, Future Gate LMS activation, and how students deal with Future Gate LMS. This study contributes to the literature to understand teachers' needs for successfully implementing innovations. Results obtained from this study are important for all stakeholders so that they can understand teachers' concerns regarding adopting the transformation to digital learning in Saudi Arabia as it is an important project for the Saudi Arabia 2030 vision.

This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality accreditation in higher education institutions (HEIs) is currently a buzzword. The need to maintain high-quality education standards is a critical requirement for HEIs to remain competitive in the market and for government and regulatory bodies to ensure the quality standards of programs offered. From being an implicit requirement that is internally addressed, quality assurance activities become an explicit requirement that is regularly audited and appraised by national and international accreditation agencies. HEIs are voluntarily integrating quality management systems (QMS), institutional and program-specific, in response to the political and competitive environment in which it exists. Through its higher education department or by creating non-profitable accreditation bodies, many governments have implemented a quality framework for licensing HEIs and invigilates its adherence based on which accreditation statuses are granted for HEIs. Global Perspectives on Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education Institutions provides a comprehensive framework for HEIs to address quality assurance and quality accreditation requirements and serves as a practical tool to develop and deploy well-defined quality management systems in higher education. The book focuses on the critical aspects of quality assurance; the need to develop a concise and agile vision, mission, values, and graduate attributes; and to develop a system that effectively aligns the various activities of the HEI to the attainment of the strategic priorities listed in the institutional plans. The chapters each cover the various facets of the quality assurance framework and accreditation agencies' requirements with practical examples of each. This book is useful for HEI administrators, quality assurance specialists in HEIs, heads of academic departments, internal auditors, external auditors, and other practitioners of quality, along with stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in quality assurance and accreditation in higher education.
