Student Reactions to Classroom Management Technology: Learning Styles and Attitudes toward Moodle
Chung, Christina; Ackerman, David
Journal of Education for Business, v90 n4 p217-223 2015
The authors look at student perceptions regarding the adoption and usage of Moodle. Self-efficacy theory and the Technology Acceptance Model were applied to understand student reactions to instructor implementation of classroom management software Moodle. They also looked at how the learning styles of students impacted their reactions to Moodle. Results show that students most valued the control Moodle gave them over their educational progress. Communication was also found to be an important benefit students sought in Moodle. Individual student reaction to Moodle was influenced by visual learning and degree of laziness.
