Potential benefits of learning analytics (LA) for improving students' performance, predicting students' success, and enhancing teaching and learning practice have increasingly been recognized in higher education. However, the adoption of LA in higher education institutions (HEIs) to date remains sporadic and predominantly small in scale due to…

Even though big data offers new opportunities to organizations, big data adoption (BDA) is still in the early stages of introduction, and its determinants remain unclear in many sectors. Therefore, this research intended to identify the determinants of BDA in the education sector. A theoretical model was developed based on the integration of the…

Virtual and augmented (VAR) technology is in the early stages of being adopted as a teaching platform in higher education. The technology can facilitate immersive learning in environments that are not usually physically accessible to students via 3D models and interactive 360° videos. To date, adoption rates of VAR technology for teaching have not…

The advent of Internet heralded the rise of scalable educational technology dubbed as massive open online course (MOOC). Easy to use, access, economical as well as flexible, provide students lot of freedom and the advantage of self-paced learning. Despite all these merits, MOOC adoption is low in the higher educational institutions (HEIs) of…

Electronic assessment (e-assessment) is an essential part of higher education, not only used to manage a large class size of students' learning performance and particularly in assessing the learning outcomes of students. The e-assessment data generated can not only be used to determine students' study weaknesses to develop strategies for teaching…

Teaching and learning processes have not experienced major changes during the last centuries. However, eLearning platforms may transform these processes, turning the classroom from a teacher-centered and standardized space into a student-centered, customizable and highly scalable environment. These changes impact many different stakeholders such…

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) are a mode of online learning available to students at any place in the world to improve their skills. Their acceptance for academic purposes remains low, and it is desirable to promote their usage among students. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) was enhanced by the inclusion of…

The Internet has made online learning possible, and many educators and researchers are interested in online learning courses to enhance and improve the student learning outcomes while battling the shortage in resources, facilities and equipment particularly in higher education institution. Online learning has become popular because of its…

While most higher educational institutions (HEIs) in Nigeria have not yet adopted e-learning, there is a rapidly growing interest in its implementation in teaching and learning processes. The current research is a systematic study aimed to predict academics' and students' intentions to use e-learning in Northeastern Nigeria's HEI's where the use…

Technology acceptance has become one of the dominant research trends in the domain of learning management systems (LMSs). While a plethora of several research studies conducted in this area, there is still a scarcity of knowledge concerning a holistic review and taxonomy of studies in this field. Thus, the main objective of this systematic review…

Emergence of the use and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in higher education in India has opened new possibilities and challenges. Use of AI in will bring in effective change of governance in the entire internal architecture of Indian Institutes of higher education. The prospect of use of AI includes investigation of educational…

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are emerging as the new trend for modern higher education institutions. Student acceptance is viewed as the key determinant for the success of MOOCs. This study intends to examine factors influencing higher education students' behavioral intention to adopt MOOCs. Thus, this study proposes the use of a modified…

The paper aims to discuss the role of instructional designers (IDs) in supporting the Open Educational Resources (OER) movement in higher education. Due to the increasing cost of higher education, previous studies indicated the feasibility of adopting OER to lower students' educational expenses and to equalize their learning opportunities (Murphy…

Recently cloud computing has received significant attention, but its adoption is still far from reaching its full potential, especially in educational contexts. Only a few studies have considered the students' behavior toward adoption of cloud technology in particular for online collaborative learning purposes. Therefore, this research seeks to…

Most academic technology areas of higher education institutes do not feel faculty technology adoption is adequate (Hartman (EDUCAUSE Rev 43(6), 2008)). Among the barriers to instructional technology adoption are faculty self-efficacy and background. Self-efficacy encompasses the faculty member's belief or confidence in his ability to succeed.…
