“…Much research has been done on informal e-learning systems like MOOCs, which entered the educational literature landscape as early as 2008 (Dousay and Janak, 2018). There is a shared concern on the quality of MOOCs in engaging students and fulfilling their needs (Oh et al , 2020).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore factors influencing university students’ intent to take formal lectures completely through e-learning with cloud meetings. Design/methodology/approach This study has surveyed Chinese students who have experienced e-learning with cloud meetings as well as traditional massive open online courses (MOOC) without live dialogues. The data are analysed based on structural equation modelling to assess factors influencing students’ intent to choose e-learning with cloud meetings. Findings The findings show that as per the technology acceptance model, e-learning students who find learning to be easier with cloud meetings than MOOCs believe cloud meeting courses to be more beneficial and thus are more willing to take e-learning with cloud meetings. Originality/value This study compares e-learning with cloud meetings with MOOCs without live dialogues for the first time to highlight the value of open dialogues in real time for effective e-learning.

“…Bull argues historical contextualization of the environments and the understanding of conditions in which instructional design approaches and technologies were successful or faile can assist IDT practitioners in future implementation and use in the classroom and online (Bull, 2016). Dousay and Janak's (2018) article is an example of connecting IDT history and historical writing to current trends and understanding of instructional design and technology use. Dousay and Janak explore the history of educational radio to understand conceptualization and contemporary use of the MOOC.…”

Every academic field has a history valuable to understanding how a field developed (Ames, 2015). History can offer important insight into times, places, and people that have long been considered less relevant to the present or future. Through re-examination of written histories using new philosophical lenses or analytical approaches, researchers and practitioners are able to prevent stagnancy in historical research and uncover new perspectives or moments in history, specifically Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) history. This critical historiography of IDT's written histories examines how various approaches to writing IDT history produce certain interpretations and understandings of IDT's past. Historiography is the critical analysis of the written history of the history of a

“…By analysing their data using mixed methods, their study revealed that for younger learners to effectively use MOOCs, their attitude plays a significant role; whereas for mature learners, various factors, including environment and support, are more significant. Additionally, other MOOCs researchers such as (Oyo & Kalema, 2014;Marques & Azevedo, 2017;Dousay& Janak, 2018)…”

“…Organizational issues such as sensitization of users, allocation of budgets, planning, as well as control of usage, play a critical role in technological implementation. Organizational factors have been found to be significant for technological innovation implementation by many other researchers(Barteit, Depoux, Sié, Ye, & Sauerborn, 2018;Dousay & Janak, 2018;Alharbi & Lally, 2017).…”

The global pandemic of coronavirus “Covid-19” in the fall of 2019 caused dramatic changes in all sectors, including education. Businesses, like corporate organizations that normally train their employees annually, were equally affected, due to lack of instructors. Learning institutions were faced with various challenges due to the abrupt paradigm shift of changing from face-to-face to online teaching and learning, with limited preparedness. For scalability, and to maintain their annual strategies of keeping their dynamic capabilities, organizations were forced to adapt online training although with limited preparedness. However, electronic learning innovations such as the massive open online courses (MOOCs) that should have been leveraged by corporate organizations to train their employees during these hard times, had been mainly tailored for educational institutions. More still, much as MOOCs are essential for all enterprises, there have been few or no models developed to inform their adoption for corporate training. This study sought to bridge this gap, thus developed a model for MOOCs adoption for corporate training, based on data collected from South African private sectors, and analysed quantitatively. Results indicated that perception and attitude toward technology, teaching styles, and technology control are key influencing factors of MOOCs adoption for corporate training. The developed model will be used to provide insights into MOOCs adoption for workplace training, and to extend research on MOOCs usage. It is recommended that future studies consider the analysis of the moderating effects of respondents’ demographics, their perceptions possibly changing over time.
