dc.description.abstract | Advances in information and communication technologies, particularly the emergence of the Internet
as a major source of global information have encouraged tertiary educators to develop rich,
technology-based learning environments. Moreover, ready access to multimedia at the desktop
provides the opportunity to develop engaging and interactive learning resources to enhance traditional
learning environments. As a consequence, educators of distance education students are now able to
move away from traditional, print-based study packages and develop multimodal course materials.
This paper provides a qualitative meta-analysis of the issues associated with academics’ adoption and
integration of technology for developing distance education courses, emerging from a range of
contemporary studies and presents a framework for the investigation of factors influencing academics’ adoption of technology. | |
