“…This finding is in consistency with [35,37,43] that examined the correlation between the Spanish and Portuguese instructors' attitudes towards MOOCs and found that these instructors have extremely positive attitudes towards the online courses, but they lacked the administrative support as it has been a prerequisite for those who wanted to develop MOOCs to take permission first. This finding goes also with [36,42] that studied the instructors' attitudes toward video lectures in MOOCs. [36,39,42] revealed that the instructors were eager to develop video lectures more than delivering face-to-face lectures.…”

“…This finding goes also with [36,42] that studied the instructors' attitudes toward video lectures in MOOCs. [36,39,42] revealed that the instructors were eager to develop video lectures more than delivering face-to-face lectures. The researcher attributed this result to the fact that the Egyptian instructors are marked by the rapid absorption of modern technologies, thus developing online course will be a sort of amusement to an Egyptian instructor.…”

— This study aims at investigating the Egyptian instructors’ attitude and behavioral intention to use and develop massive open online courses (MOOCs) (i.e. asynchronous, open-access, web-based courses geared toward enrolling hundreds of learners at a time). The study sample consists of 235 Egyptian university instructors belonging to nine Egyptian universities: Cairo, Ain Shams, Port Said, Suez, Mansoura, Helwan, South Valley, Damietta, and Zagazig universities. The data collected were analyzed within the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) stating that there are three factors that influence the users’ decision about why, when and how they use modern technology: (1) perceived usefulness (PU), (2) perceived ease – of – use (PEOU), and (3) external variables. The results showed that the Egyptian instructors displayed strong positive attitude towards MOOCs (M = 5.56 and SD = 66%). Furthermore, the results showed that the participants have strong behavioral intention to use MOOCs (M = 4.99 and SD = 0.70) and strong behavioral intention to develop them (M= 5.91 and SD= 0.53). The results also displayed a moderate correlation between the participants’ attitude and behavioral intention to develop MOOCs (R = 0.474)

Like most university students worldwide, the engineering students at the School of Information Sciences (ESI) have to deal with their school closure and the new paradigm of distance learning. Despite efforts made by the administration and the teachers to accompany students, an internal survey conducted by the end of October 2021 revealed that almost all students, especially first-year ones, did not accept distance learning. This paper describes our experience to improve students’ satisfaction with distance learning by involving them in their courses’ design process. Four courses were concerned by the experience and were designed following the ADDIE method. Last-year students participated in the ADDIE analysis step, while the first-year students participated in the last step by evaluating the co-created courses. Courses were co-created with students as most of them got involved in the ADDIE development step and enriched courses by realizing extras activities. Results showed that students were highly satisfied with courses taught in the context of this study.

“…Alenazy, Mugahed Al-Rahmi, and Khan explained that students are suspicious of the idea that using SM platforms can aid them in measuring education sustainability [19]. Other scholars have claimed that while students prefer face-to-face contact with peers and lecturers, they have a favorable attitude toward learning activities integrated with SM platforms [20]. Therefore, more research is required in the field of attitude regarding SM platform use for OL and AP [11].…”

“…Cyberstalking and cyberbullying via SM platforms have been linked to psychological and emotional issues such as discomfort, anxiety, and insecurity [21,22]. However, the better integration of SM in academic courses has provided positive effects on students' AP, such as improving motivation in learning and encouraging students to communicate with their teachers [20].…”

Social Media Improves Students’ Academic Performance: Exploring the Role of Social Media Adoption in the Open Learning Environment among International Medical Students in China

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Numerous studies have examined the role of social media as an open-learning (OL) tool in the field of education, but the empirical evidence necessary to validate such OL tools is scant, specifically in terms of student academic performance (AP). In today’s digital age, social media platforms are most popular among the student community, and they provide opportunities for OL where they can easily communicate, interact, and collaborate with each other. The authors of this study aimed to minimize the literature gap among student communities who adopt social media for OL, which has positive impacts on their AP in Chinese higher education. We adopted social constructivism theory (SCT) and the technology acceptance model (TAM) to formulate a conceptual framework. Primary data containing 233 questionnaires of international medical students in China were collected in January 2021 through the survey method. The gathered data were analyzed through structural equation modeling techniques with SmartPLS 3. The results revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and interactions with peers have positive and significant influence on OL. In addition, OL was found to have positive and significant influence on students’ AP and engagement. Lastly, engagement showed a positive impact on students’ AP. Thus, this study shows that social media serves as a dynamic tool to expedite the development of OL settings by encouraging collaboration, group discussion, and the exchange of ideas between students that reinforce their learning behavior and performance.
