Opis

Welcome to Electronic Learning in Higher Education - A Reader. This book presents selected readings of research on electronic learning (e-learning) integration and usage in higher educational institutions. The book is structured in four parts. Part One presents an overview of electronic learning and examines the integration of e-learning in a higher educational institution (HEI) in the Philippines using the activity theory approach. Part Two presents a research on the use of videos to support learning in a University in Ghana. This study assesses the perceptions and attitudes of students at the University of Ghana towards the use of videos as a medium for teaching and learning. Part Three presents a mapping of the state of e-learning in the University of Ghana. The study uses a qualitative approach to engage stakeholders (Educational Managers, E-learning Experts, Lecturers, Information Technology (IT) Experts and Students) in interviews and focus group discussions to solicit their perspectives on salient e-learning issues. Part Four outlines examples of practical uses of information technology in educational institutions. The book aims at providing an overview of key concepts in e-learning and the challenges in integrating and using e-learning technologies in higher educational institutions in developing countries. It is a good companion for any educator or student seeking to understand how higher educational institutions in developing countries integrate and use e-learning technologies.
