“…SD methodology has a long history in different e‐business and Internet research areas, such as customer trust analysis in B2C e‐business (Winch and Joyce, 2006), ICT supported education (Haugen et al , 2010), e‐crime behavior (Chiu et al , 2010), Internet‐based crisis communication management (Dong et al , 2011), Internet marketing (Lin and Liu, 2008), and Internet growth modeling (Dutta and Roy, 2004).…”

Purpose -The objective of this paper is to propose a holistic dynamic model for understanding the behavior of a complex and internet-based kind of knowledge market by considering both social and economic interactions. Design/methodology/approach -A system dynamics (SD) model is formulated in this study to investigate the dynamic characteristics of complex interactions in a fee-based online question & answer (Q&A) knowledge market. The proposed model considers the dynamic, non-linear, asymmetric, and reciprocal relationships between its components, and allows the study of the evolution of the market under assumed conditions. Findings -Some illustrative results show that: this market is very sensitive to the prices that the customers choose; low-priced questions are as important as high-priced ones; gradually increasing experts' proportion of a question's price reduces customer satisfaction and experts' reputation; and training programs for experts result in higher customer satisfaction and researchers' reputation. Furthermore, three types of customers are identified and discussed.Practical implications -This model can be used to change, manage, and control this market and also helps to design new similar markets. In addition, the proposed model helps to observe the behavior of a market under one or more policies before applying to the real world. Social implications -Since GA was shut down in 2006, the implications of this research serve as a strategic tool (strategic evaluation software) for understanding and examining the effects of policies for many existing similar Q&A business models. Furthermore, the SD approach can provide new insights into the field of online Q&A knowledge markets and overcome traditional econometric treatment of data for understanding the dynamic behavior of these markets. Originality/value -Understanding the complex social and economic behavior of Q&A markets is one of the most important concerns for academics and practitioners in the areas of online markets' management. The paper shows how SD can provide attractive insights into the field of online fee-based knowledge markets based on a qualitative and quantitative modeling. However, the background literature lacks a holistic view of these kinds of markets.

“…E-content is reliable in providing the training material and supporting content to the traditional content in the book. Moreover, some are published freely on internet, but others require subscription fee to access the services (Haugen, Ask, & Bjørke, 2010;Hendradi et al, 2019;Mhouti, Erradi, & Nasseh, 2018). Hence, the present study explores the effectiveness of a training programme on cloud-computing based mobile application in handling the e-content by the teachers.…”

The research aims to design a mobile learning environment based on cloud computing applications to enhance the designing and publishing e-content skills of the faculty members of Northern Borders University, Saudi Arabia. The researcher used the semi- experimental approach to measure the impact of the mobile learning environment on the cognitive and performance aspects of the faculties. Two research tools were used in the study: an electronic achievement test to measure the cognitive aspect and an observation sheet to measure the performance aspects of designing and publishing e- content skills of faculty members (N=53). A training programme on mobile learning environment based on cloud computing was conducted to enhance the faculty members’ e-content designing skills. There was a statistically significant difference between the average scores of the members in their pre-and post-study assessment of the cognitive and performance aspects of designing and publishing e-content skills. Following the training programme, the faculty’s achievement scores increased to 84% from 42% in the pre-test; their performance to apply the learned skills in various activities improved to 91% from 43%. Based on the results of the study, it can be recommended that the mobile learning environment based on cloud computing applications is quite helpful in developing the skills of using technology by the faculty members.
