Contributions of Guest Speakers to Online Delivery of IT Program

This paper aims to assess the benefits of inviting guest speakers for both IT undergraduate and postgraduate students in the online delivery of IT programs. A relevance and usefulness discourse framework is introduced to better understand the type of guest speakers that university academics should invite to enhance IT educational experience. This study will be conducted using a quantitative study based on an online survey to understand the students’ experiences, expectations and benefits of guest speakers in IT degrees which could give some interesting insights. This study will be performed before the course and then again after the speaker, to see how students now viewed what they learned in the course. The study findings are expected to provide useful suggestions for IT academics to maximise the guest speakers’ presentations with online delivery and achieving the intended learning outcomes

How do students\u27 personality traits affect their academic performance and stickiness towards e-learning?: The moderating effect of students\u27 engagement

Previous studies have been conducted on the importance of students\u27 personality traits in their acceptance of e-learning services. However, there is a lack of research on the effects of students\u27 personality traits on their academic performance and long-term stickiness in e-learning usage, and how these effects are moderated by their students\u27 engagement. This study presents a conceptual framework for investigating how students\u27 personality traits affect their learning engagement, academic performance and stickiness in e-learning. From a theoretical perspective, this study will provide a validated research model for exploring the effects of students\u27 personality traits on their academic performance and long-term stickiness in e-learning usage for achieving better student learning outcomes and commitment to life-long learning. From a practical perspective, this study will provide insightful research findings to aid in the creation of tailored strategies for the development of e-learning platforms for promoting the delivery of high-quality education

Assessing the Effects of Perceived Qualities on E-learning Students’ Attitude, Learning Engagement, and Stickiness During COVID-19

This paper presents a conceptual framework to explore the effect of e-learning on students ’ perception and behaviour during COVID-19. To accomplish this goal, this paper will develop a new research framework building on a review of an extensive literature on the user’s perceived qualities, attitude, engagement, and stickiness in the context of e-services. Based on an online survey questionnaire, this research is expected to compare the effects of students’ perceived qualities and identify the driving factors of students’ stickiness to e-learning platforms. From the theoretical side, this study will contribute to the IS body of knowledge on e-learning and students’ performance. On the practical side, this study provides insight for higher education institutions, researchers and academics in the development of appropriate strategies for improving e-learning delivery and practices

Managing students’ attitude, learning engagement, and stickiness towards e-learning: Post COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has enhanced the role and importance of e-learning systems in learning and teaching activities around the world. Many recent studies have explored the university students’ acceptance of e-learning systems. However, less attention has been paid to students’ long-term usage of e-learning post COVID-19. This study investigates how students perceive the quality of e-learning from different perspectives, and how such a system impacts their attitude towards e-learning, learning engagement, and continued use of the e-learning platform. A theoretical model is developed to conceptualise the differences in students’ perceptions on the quality of e-learning and the consequent impacts. An online survey is conducted using Qualtrics to test the proposed theoretical model. The participants were students enrolled in three Australian universities. In all, 465 responses were received over a month. After filtering the data and removing the incomplete responses, 403 valid samples (86.67%) are obtained. The findings of this study suggest that students’ perception of educational quality of e-learning is a significant factor that simultaneously affects their attitude, engagement, and stickiness. The study also identifies students’ positive attitude and learning engagement as antecedents of students’ stickiness which, in turn, shape their long-term commitment to learning. Furthermore, students’ perception on information quality affects their attitude toward e-learning, and that on the service quality contributes to their learning engagement. The results imply that the use of e-learning cannot be viewed just as simple alternative to traditional face-to-face teaching. Rather, there needs to be a conscious consideration of the adopted online teaching methods and the quality of information delivered through e-learning platform for satisfactory learning outcomes in e-learning environment. Arguably, the results reflect the need of stronger collaboration between different departments in educational institutions towards long-term educational success
