An Australia case study

Produktbeschreibung

Advances in technology and the continued emergence
of the Web as a major source of global information
have encouraged tertiary educators to take advantage
of this growing array of resources and move beyond
traditional face-to-face and distance education
correspondence modes toward a rich technology-
mediated learning environment. Moreover, ready
access to multimedia at the desk-top has provided an
opportunity for educators to develop flexible,
engaging and interactive learning resources,
incorporating multimedia and hypermedia. This book
prevents the findings of a study that investigated
pedagogical, individual and institutional factors
influencing the adoption and integration of
educational technology by academics at a regional
Australian university, for the purpose of developing
e-learning environments. The findings of this study
revealed that a range of pedagogical, individual and
institutional factors influence academics
development of e-learning environments.
Implications for distance education providers and
individual academics arising from these factors and
subsequent recommendations are presented.
