This research assessed instructors’ usage of emojis in distance education for high diploma students. A quantitative approach was employed comprising an e-survey consisting of 11-items, one closed-ended question, and two open-ended questions. The participants were a randomly selected sample of 343 high diploma students, 243 attending Al al-Bayt University (AABU) in Jordan and 100 students attending the Arab Academic College in Haifa (AAC). The results indicated that instructors’ usage of emojis in distance education was moderate in both universities. All students strongly preferred instructors to use emojis to express what is on their minds as an alternative to facial expressions, and female instructors were more active in using emojis in virtual lectures. The emoji used most frequently by distance education instructors for the sample was the thumbs-up emoji ( ). Based on the results, several recommendations are put forth that will be of value to researchers and workers in this field. Keywords: Distance Education; Emojis; COVID-19
The current study assessed school principals' familiarity with media education and its correlation with their use of social networks in school administration from the perspective of teachers. A relational descriptive approach was adopted and two tools were used to collect data. The first was an interview conducted with a sample of 20 teachers, and the second was a questionnaire administered to a random sample of (607) teachers working in Zarqa Private Schools in Jordan. The results revealed that school principals’ familiarity with media education was perceived as moderate, and a strong correlation was found between their familiarity with media education and their use of social networks in school administration. 90% of the interviewees agreed that the school principal’s knowledge of media education had a positive impact on school administration through social networking. Given the results, several recommendations are made that will be of value to researchers and workers in this field. Received: 16 April 2022 / Accepted: 30 June 2022 / Published: 5 July 2022
