The primary purpose of this study was to provide validity evidence for the items used to measure the intention to use an Online Discussion Site (ODS). Seventy seven students participated in this study. The extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) model was adapted for this study. With the use of the Rasch analysis, the item validity in extended TAM model was evaluated. There are a few aspects of...
One of the challenging issues in teaching foundation level university engineering courses is that such courses are often organized and taught in large classrooms with little opportunity for interactions and student participation. The course material is typically presented in abstract forms such as equations and one-line diagrams. This paper presents a case study where a substantially different approach...
Line up with the technology that many universities have reported an increase in the use of online educational tools worldwide. Therefore, the use of e-Learning systems is a success factor of any institution, and the main point is whether e-Learning is effective or not. By filling the gap of limited research, this study will help to identify whether existing online education system effectively helps...
It is significantly obvious that English learning requires personally adapting systems. In order to satisfy this need, measuring the degrees of understanding by image tracking is fairly important. This study investigated whether eye tracking could be employed as a measure of the effectiveness of an E-Learning material on reading. Learners' eye fixations were used as a means of noticing. Results showed...
Networked computers and the internet are among the ICTs initiatives of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University, Inc. Being one among the maritime university in Asia and the only maritime university in the Philippines, with its commitment on the “development of a culture of excellence in maritime education and training”, the University made advancement on the practical and operational use of...
This research formed part of a larger study concerning an investigation of the e-learning needs of students with disabilities, which involved the use of the Nominal Group Technique (NGT). The NGT is a highly structured consensus method which involves four phases, as follows: Silent generation; round-robin of sharing; open discussion and anonymous voting. The NGT has proven to be a student-friendly...

The Cloud computing environment is rising as a natural platform to provide support to online systems. Therefore, there is a need to redefine and redesign the whole educational system which meets the current educational need in the light of cloud. The advent of computers with sophisticated software has made it possible to solve many complex problems very fast and at a lower cost. This paper introduces...
We present a prototype for a generator of shared learning objects to be used in university courses that teach computer programming. The learning objects are question and answer test sets and an application which presents and grades the questions. The application is a Java-based “wizard” that can present and grade short answer questions, multiple choice questions and programming questions for several...
Computer science curricula include practical courses, where students can apply, deepen and anchor their theoretical knowledge. Universities have to provide a learning environment which fits into the educational system and also meets the needs of the students. While having various technical concepts to support the students, educational staff has to know the students' learning behaviour in order to...
This article presents the results of applying an epistemological model for students learning computer programming languages.
