This qualitative case study was conducted to explore factors affecting educational leaders' ability to access program technology tools during initial software adoption. The problem was organizational leaders are often provided digital support tools when implementing a new digital program, but many factors may affect their ability to access and use…

Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) are technologies that allow users to interact with virtual environments and can create and participate in digital educational experiences and simulations. Due to the VR and VLEs being relatively new technologies in education, acceptance, use, and finally adoption in a classroom…

The mastery of pedagogical analytical and digital literacy (PADL) emerges as a foundation, allowing higher education institutions (HEIs) faculty to navigate the challenges of the digital realm and modify teaching methods to meet the various learning needs of the students. This study aimed to explore the need for analytical literacy for faculty in…

This study investigated the graduate students' perceptions toward using cloud technology in their learning and how they use cloud technology in education. A qualitative case study was conducted to attain the study's objectives. The data was collected by interviewing a purposeful sample consisting of 10 participants, Ph.D. students in the…

The digital age is reshaping learning and instruction and encouraging educational technology advances within higher education institutions. However, online faculty are not integrating technology into their classes despite the technology related professional development they receive. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine if a…

The focus of this dissertation centers around the beliefs that early education teachers hold regarding the role digital technology plays in the learning and development of young children and how those beliefs are implemented in the classroom. Although there is some previous research on this topic not enough is known about digital technology…

Educational technology has been readily available to schools and teachers since the early 1990s; however, it has not been integrated into classroom instruction in a way that reflects its potential for providing equitable and innovative instruction. This case study reviews the literature for why in-service teachers are not adopting technology even…

Despite growth in the elementary classroom, the level of technology adoption by some teachers falls short of levels sought by educational stakeholders. To address this disparity, the purpose of this correlational study was to identify if, and to what extent, a correlation exists between elementary teachers' adult playfulness factor levels and…

This study aimed to explore faculty members' acceptance of the flipped classroom model (FCM) based technology with student-centered approach in their classrooms in Saudi universities. Specifically, the study investigated factors that influence faculty members acceptance or rejection of the adoption and use of the FCM based technology by…

The purpose of this research study was to examine several specific factors that could influence a project manager's behavioral intention to use e-learning technology for professional development learning activities. This study extended the technology acceptance model (TAM) with an external variable, computer self-efficacy, which was analyzed as a…

Research in this study used the technology acceptance model (TAM) as a theoretical framework for investigating STEM students and faculty perceptions of the use of mobile applications at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in the southeastern part of the United States. Mobile technology applications have become very popular over the…

Recent research highlights the relationship between levels of innovativeness, the use of online learning technologies and attitudes toward computers. Most of the research in this domain has been conducted in PWIs (Johnson, 2015; Pereira and Wahi, 2017; Glass 2017; Broussard and Wilson, 2018). Only a few studies were conducted at HBCUs (Lawrence,…

Energy managers are tasked with identifying energy savings opportunities and promoting energy independence. Energy-efficient (EE) and renewable-energy (RE) technology demonstrations enable energy managers to evaluate new energy technologies and adopt those that appear most effective. This study examined whether energy technology demonstrations…

This qualitative, exploratory case study was designed to elicit faculty members' perceptions of the factors that facilitate technology integration into their instruction. The study was conducted at a midsized higher education institution in Qatar. Davis's (1986) technology acceptance model (TAM) is the conceptual framework that guided this study…

Integrating instructional technology within the elementary classroom is required by both state and federal mandates, set forth in the form of standards and guidelines. The integration of technology within the classroom setting requires time, training, and teacher willingness. Teachers are likely to develop beliefs and attitudes regarding the…
