Exploring Lecturers' Acceptance of Online Media for lecturing
You are invited to participate in a study of lecturer’s acceptance of online media for university lecturing purposes. You were selected as a possible participant in this study because we are interested in your opinion regardless of your level of involvement with these online technologies
Thank you very much for your time and support. Please start with the survey now by clicking on the Continue button below. Which age group do you belong to? Which Faculty do you belong to? Which School do you belong to? Please state the number of years you have been lecturing: Select your current academic appointment How would you describe your computer literacy rate? What do you use your computer for? (Please select all that is applicable) On average, how many hours do you usually spend per week using the computer? Which of the following features and capabilities of e-learning environment have you used during your time as a lecturer? (Please select all that is applicable) In this study, online media is used to refer to three different e-learning systems, namely online video, online audio and online audio+screen capture:
• Online video lecturing is used to refer to the recording and subsequent broadcasting of lectures in a video format and published online to an online video medium such as YouTube, iTunesU and UNSWTV
• Online audio lecturing is used to refer to the recording and subsequent broadcasting of lecture in an audio format that can be accessed online. This includes audio recordings in Lectopia (formerly iLecture).
• Online audio+screen capture is used to refer to the audio recording of the lecture accompanied with screen capture that can be accessed online. Screen capture is a tool that captures everything displayed on your computer screen such as powerpoint slides, web sites etc, and presents the captured data in-sync with the audio recording.
