“…While many foreign studies value community learning (Gibbings & Brodie 2008, Elicker et al 2008, Byman et al 2005, in this work it was ranked second, and this was mainly due to cultural differences. The results of this study are consistent with many other works which found that learning response and feedback are key factors in implementing e-learning system (Thurmond et al 2002, Wang et al 2007, Sun et al 2008.…”

In recent years, e-learning system has been adopted as a training tool in many firms, as it can help employees to complete training in a short time and at a low cost. Within this context, since 2003 the Industrial Development Bureau (IDB) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) in Taiwan sponsored more than 50 enterprises each year to help them implement customized e-learning systems. Past research on e-learning mostly focused on one criterion and adopted regression approach, such as examining the relationships between satisfaction or continued usage intentions and various antecedent factors. Although the regression method could uncover the significant factors of e-learning adoption, they can not show the can (weighting) of each factor, and thus firms cannot allocate the optimal levels of resources. To overcome this problem, this study collected factors related to firms implementing customized e-learning systems from a review of the literature and expert opinions, and then constructed a hierarchical factor table. Based on the appropriateness and independence of factors, and as assessed by experts in the project promotion office of the IDB, e-learning solution providers and project leaders of the IDB sponsored enterprises, this paper then designed an Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) format questionnaire and sent it to these same experts to gather their responses. The factor weightings were derived based on the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method. Finally, analysis of key factors was performed and recommendations provided. Based on the results for this work, service industry firms with limited resources can achieve proper resource allocation and more quickly and successfully adopt customized e-Learning systems.

“…In most SoTL research, accomplishing random assignment is not feasible or ethical, but having a control group that is as equivalent as possible increases the validity of the measurement of change due to the SoTL intervention. For example, Elicker, O'Malley, and Williams (2008) used two different instructors teaching the same course where one instructor used a standard website, and the other used an enhanced WebCT website. They chose the two classes by selecting two sections of the same course but with two different instructors.…”

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is a growing and vibrant field, and with that growth has come some serious reflection on the models we use to conduct SoTL and the robustness of these models. Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut set of benchmarks for robust research. In this article, we identify a continuum of SoTL and demarcate aspirational benchmarks. Whereas qualitative and quantitative data and methods all have a place in SoTL, psychological science provides gold standards of design and analysis. We advocate for similar SoTL standards that are theory based and intentionally designed using the best models for methodological and statistical rigor.
