Paper Abstract:
|
The purpose of this empirical quantitative primary study is to investigate the Faculty Perceptions and Utilization of Learning Management System (LMS) in The Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT). Blackboard system is the most LMS commonly used system in many institutions, including the HCT, the United Arab Emirates. Many educational institutions, including the HCT, have developed or in the process of developing their LMS using Blackboard. Faculty perceptions of Blackboard will be investigated from three different prospectuses: Blackboard Design, Pedagogical on e-learning and Faculty Satisfaction. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) will be utilized as the research model. The results which will be obtained from this study will contribute to the growing body of research in the area of LMSs introduction and integration in classrooms, not only in the HCT but also other institutions. |
