The adoption of
ICT-enabled teaching in contemporary schools has largely ragged behind
despite its obvious and many benefits, mainly because teachers still hold
ignorant, misinformed and highly negative attitudes towards ICT-enabled
teaching. This article aimed at investigating the effect of Virtual Learning
Environments (VLE) on university teachers’ attitudes towards using ICT in
their teaching, and to further develop a best-practice model for use by
stakeholders currently interested in promoting the use of ICT in education.
VLE experience can positively shape teachers’ attitudes towards using ICT,
which would in turn increase the adoption of ICT-aided teaching in
contemporary schools. The article argues that when university teachers
participate regularly in VLEs, their attitudes towards the use of ICT
improves. It is thus recommended that learning institutions and universities
should invest in creating productive, regular and readily accessible VLEs for
their teaching staff, as an important support incentive to any ICT program
deployment.

This book
investigates the use of technology by the university teachers in their
instruction to explore the viability of training within a Virtual Learning
Environment (VLE) for their professional development. It observes changes in
their perceptions about technology and the level of use of Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) tools in teaching. It claims the significant
improvement in the university teachers’ usage of a number of ICT teaching
tools after they received VLE training. Additionally, it points to positive
change in the attitudes, knowledge and skills of these teachers and promises
an active role in the teachers’ professional development for these aspects.
The book is also claiming that a CPD scheme delivered via a VLE can
positively change university teachers’ knowledge, attitude, and skills about
technology, and consequently increase the use of ICT tools in teaching and
learning.

ENHANCING UNIVERSITY TEACHERS’ INFORMATION
AND
COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY USAGE BY USING A
VIRTUAL
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT TRAINING COURSE
|
|
الملخص:
|
The research project is a case study
focussing on the use of a virtual learning environment (VLE) implemented to
increase the use of information and communication technology (ICT) by
university teachers in Jazan University, Saudi Arabia. The study aims to
investigate the effect of the VLE as the vehicle for a training course in ICT
designed to improve the university teachers’ ability to use ICT in their
teaching through continuing professional development (CPD) programmes. The
raison d’être of the study is that most university teachers do not use ICT in
their teaching [1]. The training programme is delivered through a VLE course
(based on Moodle), and so places the teachers in the position of learners and
draws their attention to the benefits that can be gained by using ICT in
their teaching. The study addresses the following question: can a VLE affect
the use of ICT by teachers to support their teaching? Two questionnaires were
used as data collection methods, a pretest and post-test adopted before and
after the implementation of the VLE.The analysis of the results of the study
reveals that there are differences between the pre-test and the post-test,
for the benefit of the post-test. The mean of the university teachers’ ICT
usage in the pre-test is 1.94 and for the post-test is 2.59. The study
recommends that the university policy makers should support the use of a VLE
in the CPD provision and to create more ICT training programmes. Finally,the
policy makers should consider some training programmes for the students to
support and enhance their competence in using ICT for the purpose of
learning.
