There is a need to understand the nature of the online Info Sec labs as ensemble artifacts, and just a black-box tool's view is...
Many universities and faculty members are exploring the potential of online learning. However, while it is increasingly likely these faculty members will have students with disabilities, most instructors have little or no experience teaching such students. In addition, there are almost no models for training faculty to design and implement accessible cyber learning in higher education. This is especially...
This research explores ebook use among undergraduate students, drawing from the technology acceptance model (TAM) to examine ebook usage and adoption. Undergraduates enrolled in a large course at a mid-western university in the United States completed surveys at the beginning and the end of the semester. A great amount of variance was found in ebook use. A small number of students made a large number...
