Modeling E-Learning Readiness Among Instructors In Iraqi Public Universities

E-pembelajaran telah digunakan oleh banyak institusi pengajian tinggi seluruh dunia. Namun, adakah pensyarah di universiti bersedia untuk menggunakan e-pembelajaran dalam aktiviti-aktiviti pengajaran mereka? Apakah faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kesediaan e-pembelajaran mereka? Kajian ini berhasrat menjalankan pemodelan kesediaan e-pembelajaran dalam kalangan pensyarah di empat buah universiti awam terkemuka di Iraq. Berdasarkan sorotan literatur, sembilan faktor telah dikenalpasti boleh mempengaruhi kesediaan e-pembelajaran, iaitu iklim organisasi (kesediaan persekitaran dan kewangan), budaya (sosial dan komuniti), peralatan (peralatan/infrastruktur, kemahiran teknologi dan sumber manusia), kesediaan subjek/individu untuk berubah (sikap dan gaya pembelajaran atas talian) serta penglibatan. E-learning has been used by many higher learning institutions around the globe. However, are the university instructors ready to use e-learning in their teaching and learning activities? What are the factors influencing their e-learning readiness? This study attempts to model e-learning readiness among instructors in four Iraqi public universities (IPUs). Based on the literature, nine factors involving organizational climate (environmental and financial readiness); societal/community readiness (culture); tools (equipment/infrastructure, technology skills, and human resources); subject/individual readiness for change (attitude and online learning style); and engagement readiness have been identified to influence e-learning readiness

M-Government Application for Retrieving Users Queries Based on WAP Technology in the Rural Communities Area

Today's, mobile applications have brought the different advantages for accessing and sharing information over wireless application protocol (WAP). There are difficulties for accessing and searching information especially in the rural communities. Hence, the study aimed to develop a mobile application for accessing and retrieving user queries over WAP technology. Moreover, the proposed application will provide users in rural communities with their request information about different events, such as (News, clinics, stations, and other events). Furthermore, Application Development Modified Methodology (Charles, 1995) has been used for building the proposed application. Finally, the proposed application has been evaluated and the obtained results have been produces

Importance applications mobile agent technology for virtual e-learning environment: Proposed model

In current era Mobile Agent (MA) technology is engaging so much attention as an urgent request. Many applications for Mobile Agent goes via the web like commercial transaction, sale room, and job finder, etc.. Mobile Agent Technology may contribute in solving many problems for several companies because Mobile agent technology is a very appealing solution for this kind of problem. Of later E-learning attracts most recent technologies seeks to model and to display the most perfect and suitable solution to cover the majority of the processes needed in its web_based virtual environment. Mobile Agent occupied of e-learning to facilitate the mechanism with the learning environment among the diverse parties. This study highlights some of the important problems that appear in the web_based virtual learning environment (VLE), and showed a model with one of the recent and the main technologies as a solve for the Mobile Agent’ problems.This study presents the interactive and collaborative, and vital role of the Mobile Agent in connecting intellectual efforts between students and instructors working in a secure VLE bearing in mind agents’ roles, tasks and interactions in the analysis

The opportunities and Difficulties for M-learning to Enhancing students learning results

Abstract: Under the social change that rely on technologies that create new Difficulties and challenges for universities, this paper considers the possibility of mobile learning and a subset of e-learning to influence a quantum leap in higher education, Environments universities face accelerated growth in demand for higher education, a significant reduction in government supporting and funding for education, Change in the awareness and understand of the type of knowledge, global competitiveness, changing student demographics and outlooks. At the same time unbinding mobile phones is connect a lots numbers of powerful learners to communications networks. by a review of some literature pilot on the current situation of m-learning that explores alternatives to help universities carry out its core functions of storage, processing and Launcher knowledge that can be applied to real life matters, through the study of the weakness and strengths of increased connectivity to networks of mobile communications to support Structural, self-guided interactive educational quality for learners toward using mobile devices increasingly. This article as well discusses if mobile learning can be alignment between technology development with the changing expectations of students and the implications of a variety in teaching and institutional strategies.
