Various factors, including technical, organisational, cultural, and individual, can influence how people adopt digital technologies (DT). However, different contexts have produced similar yet distinct results when researchers integrated these various factors into the technology acceptance model (TAM). Two critical factors in the Islamic…

The current educational landscape is flooded with new technological tools, especially with the arrival of artificial intelligence, which is applicable at all levels of instructional practices. However, the application of technology in assessment in higher education has been understudied. This study focused on filling this research gap by examining…

Higher institutions are increasingly embracing the use of computer technologies in advancing education. Despite evidence pointing to the positive impact of computer technologies on teaching and learning, systematic research study on the role of teachers' competencies in computer technologies integration is still not saturated in literature.…

Purpose: This study aims to examine the integration of AI in student engagement and its benefits in the learning environment. Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a quantitative research method, analyzing data from a sample of 720 students. The econometric data analysis used the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. Findings:…

The abrupt transition to emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic offered minimal time to prepare, resulting in faculty reliance on prior pedagogical practices in the shift to an online instructional environment. Although the pandemic altered the learning environment in the short-term, it also offered a glimpse of how higher…

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…

The adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools, such as ChatGPT, in higher education presents numerous opportunities and challenges. The use of GAI technologies in various fields, including education, has accelerated as technology develops. The widely used language model ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has become progressively more…

The purpose of this exploratory research study was to examine the roles instructional designers (IDs) play in the integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) into their higher education institutions, and how they use GenAI technologies in their own professional practices. Data were collected from 15 participants in the United States…

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…

In the global movement towards open knowledge society, open educational resources (OER) have become a prominent contributor as a medium of education, research and training. In India, the phenomenon of OER is still in nascent stage. Although the country has been massively investing on growth and usage of ICT, it still requires acceptance of OER as…

This article reports on the barriers encountered by teachers and the possible solutions to the integration of web-based learning (WBL) into higher educational institutions in Uganda. A total of 50 teachers in the departments of ICT, management, and social sciences from five different universities were purposively selected. A self-designed…

Research on technology adoption often profiles device usability (such as perceived usefulness) and user dispositions (such as perceived ease of use) as the prime determinants of effective technology adoption. Since any process of technology adoption cannot be conceived out of its situated contexts, this paper argues that any pre-occupation with…

This study built on previous research in 2010 to determine changes to students' current use of and expectations for future integration of technologies in their learning experience. The findings reveal a continued trend of conservative technology use amongst students but with a growing demand for more integration of technologies for assessment and…

Education is a very socially oriented activity and quality education has traditionally been associated with strong teachers having high degrees of personal contact with students and technologies. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become commonplace entities in all aspects of life. The use of ICT has fundamentally changed the…

Web technologies used in higher education institutions are aimed to offer practical value to faculty members and students in facilitating their teaching learning and other academic processes. However, a number of recent studies revealed that instructors and students are reluctant to engage in activities that require information technology (Reffell…
