Human Capital and E-Learning

2009

Companies are increasingly conscious of the fact that the achieving of their objectives, together with the improvement of their competitive advantages, depends on the appropriate management of the human factor.

Emotional obstacles for e-learning – a user psychological analysis

2010

E-oppimisen merkitys koulutuksessa on kasvanut jatkuvasti. Sekä julkisen että yksityisen sektorin organisaatiot käyttävät sitä laajasti. Epäilyjä kuitenkin on ilmaistu sen tehokkuuden osalta. Nämä ongelmat johtuvat usein ihmisen ja järjestelmän vuorovaikutuksesta, minkä vuoksi on tarpeen tutkia vuorovaikutusta e-oppimisessa. Me lähestymme näitä vuorovaikutusongelmia käyttäjäpsykologisesta näkökulmasta. Tämä tarkoittaa sitä, että käytämme psykologisia käsitteitä, menetelmiä ja teorioita ratkaistaksemme vuorovaikutusongelmia. Tässä artikkelissa haluamme korostaa, että on olemassa monia tunneperäisiä näkökulmia ihmisen ja teknologian vuorovaikutuksen prosesseille, ja siksi me analysoimme e-opp…

Critical success factors for successful globalised e-learning

2009

As we move from an information-based to a knowledge-based society, the need for reengineering, retraining and restructuring is emerging. Online programme development/enhancement requires experience and planning. Since e-learning entry requires little investments, it can be tempting to start programmes without appropriate infrastructure or planning, resulting in huge losses and in many cases closure. The new entrants can learn from the early adopters of online learning and from their experiences, both good and bad without reinventing the wheel. This paper discusses factors that must be considered and planned before venturing into e-learning. These factors are derived from discussions with fa…

The Patras blended strategy model for deep and meaningful learning in quality life-long distance education

2019

Life‑long learning is currently being embraced as a central process that could disrupt traditional educational paths. Apparently, the (ideal) type of learning often promoted is deep and meaningful learning, though it is not always required to be so. Deep learning goes beyond superficial knowledge assimilation of unlinked facts; it aims at developing deep disciplinary understanding, transformative knowledge, personal meaning, emotional intelligence, critical thinking, creativity and metacognitive skills. Meaningful learning occurs when learning is active, constructive, intentional, authentic, and cooperative. Technology enhanced teaching and learning methods should prove their potential to t…

Theorising about barriers to open e-learning systems in public administrations

2018

Abstract Barriers to the general use of e-learning technology are known across various contexts. Despite increasing efforts to clarify the range of these barriers, few efforts have been made to advance the theorising about them and, thus, to answer why and how they unfold. This study is motivated to overcome this unaddressed problem and develops a process model based on adaptive structuration theory (AST) and the punctuated socio-technical change model (PSIC). It represents how barriers unfold between actors, technology, and organisational properties in public administrations. The PaSIC model provides a new perspective on how critical incidents drive the emergence and progress of barriers t…
