“…In the researchers' view, BL practices increase the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes, thus it enhances learning beyond what might be accomplished with traditional learning and teaching practices. Lyons and Evans (2013) define BL as a "teaching model that incorporates technology while retaining the F2F element" (p. 43). For instance, BL incorporates technologies such as podcasts, lecture capture, online chat, and discussion boards.…”

The present study intended to investigate the effect of utilizing Learning Management System (LMS), Blackboard® on enhancing English as a Foreign Language (EFL) female students' satisfaction in the Saudi context. It is found that the effectiveness of utilizing the supplementary materials on Blackboard® is leading up to EFL students' satisfaction. Since, Blended Learning (BL) model could stimulate a classroom setting with activities that are carried out under flexible and engaging manner. The sample consisted of ninety-eight students from proficiency level -104. The data of the study was collected using a questionnaire to identify students' level of satisfaction. The results revealed that students' satisfaction was apparent as their positive responses outweighed their negative responses mainly in terms of richness of learning resources, opportunity to interact in foreign language, appropriateness and variety of content, and ease of using Blackboard®. Based on the results, the study recommends considering the positive assets and challenges to plan the future of both teaching and learning English language effectively. The study suggested several areas to be investigated in the future such as examining the motivational behavior of both the teachers and the students and finding out the factors that will affect the environment of BL in EFL.

“…Other ostensibly useful technology employed in supporting the transformation of curricula to blended environments includes online discussion forums (Hudson, 2014;Lyons and Evans, 2013) and Skype (Stephens and Hennefer, 2013). Both the pilot study by Hudson (2014) and the mixed method case study by Lyons and Evans (2013) reported favourable engagement and learning results after discussion board forums were integrated into undergraduate course designs.…”

“…However, according to the literature sources evaluated for compiling this review (Epstein and Ray, 2014;Goldman et al, 2008;Halic et al, 2010;Hudson, 2014;Lyons and Evans, 2013;Moeller et al, 2010;Morley, 2012;Stephens and Hennefer, 2013;Wilson and Ganley, 2014), there are various modalities that this flexible learning design can utilise for delivery. In a randomised trial of 237 medical undergraduate students, Moeller et al (2010) compared the effect various combinations of wiki, chat and interactive diagnostic context (IDC) had on blended problem based learning, group processes and learner satisfaction.…”

“…ODFs are flexible, convenient and accessible for students (Warren, 2008), encourage social interaction (Blackmon, 2012) and intense participation in the learning process (Dorman & Fraser, 2009). Other benefits of ODF are the challenges given to students to construct knowledge leading to higher cognitive outcomes (Lyons & Evans, 2013;Pena-Shaff & Nicholls, 2004;Struyven, Dochy, Janssens, & Gielen, 2006). Bonk, Kim, and Zeng (2006) have predicted the future of blended learning as self determined, increased connectedness, community and collaboration and changed instructor roles and this is what is presently happening with the use of different tools for e-learning in university education.…”

E-learning is an important trend globally that is believed to enhance the acquisition of knowledge by students within and outside the classroom to improve their academic pursuit. The Online Discussion Forum (ODF) is one of the tools that are used for e-learning in Nigerian universities. It facilitates interaction among postgraduate students as they can communicate and share information sources with one another to promote learning. However, the optimum use of this forum is determined by anchor factors in TAM 3 such as computer self-efficacy, perceptions of external control, computer anxiety and computer playfulness. A conceptual model based on TAM 3 was proposed and empirically tested. Using a survey research design and an online questionnaire for 121 Library and Information Science (LIS) postgraduate students, the paper demonstrated that computer self-efficacy, perceptions of external control, computer anxiety and computer playfulness have significant influence on the use of ODF.
