“…The report also states that in 2018, United Kingdom lead the market with 28% share in e-learning, followed by Germany and France ( Businesswire, 2019 ). For example, the number of students registered for distant and online learning programs in Germany exceeded 158,000 in 2016 while an estimated 17,000 learners participated in professional certification programs ( Dieckmann and Zinn, 2017 ). The EMIS and similar systems implementation is an area of interest in this regard.…”

Technology permeates all walks of life. It has emerged as a global facilitator to improve learning and training, alleviating the temporal and spatial limitations of traditional learning systems. It is imperative to identify enablers or inhibitors of technology adoption by employees for sustainable change in education management systems. Using the theoretical lens of organizational support theory, this paper studies effect of institutional support on education management information systems (EMIS) use along with two individual traits of self-efficacy and innovative behavior of academic employees in British higher educational institutions. Data for this cross-sectional study were collected through a questionnaire completed by 591 academic employees of 23 universities from 10 cities in the United Kingdom. Partial Least Square structural equation modeling was used to analyze data with smartPLS 3.2.9 software. Results indicate that institutional support promotes self-efficacy and innovative behavior that help develop positive employee perceptions. The model explains a 52.9% variance in intention to use. Post-hoc mediation analysis shows that innovativeness and self-efficacy mediate between institutional support and employee technology adoption behavior. As opposed to student samples in past studies on educational technology, this study adds to the literature by focusing on academic employees.

“…The UK was leading the e-learning market in 2018 with a 28% share, and Germany followed with France in third place (Businesswire, 2019). Germany had registered over 158.000 participants in distant learning programs in 2016, while approximately 17,000 e-learners enrolled for professional certification courses (Dieckmann & Zinn, 2017). MOOCs and related information systems can be of specific interest for future studies.…”

Educational institutions face significant challenges in extracting interest from their investments in massive open online courses (MOOCs). This study examined the impact of supportive leadership style on university employees' continued use of MOOCs and assessed the mediating role of their innovative work behavior. It uses a multi-theory perspective as opposed to the majority of past studies that use singular theoretical perspectives and extends the information system continuance (ISC) model with the leadership concept. Researchers collected multi-source dyadic data for this cross-sectional study from 632 employees and 316 supervisors from 19 Chinese universities. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling with partial least squares through SmartPLS 3.2.9. Results indicate supportive leadership influences employees' innovative behavior, which mediates between supportive leadership and employees' satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and intention to continue using MOOCs.

“…The cloaca of the Anura has so far attracted little attention ; no information is available regarding any functions it may have, and even its structure has been given small consideration. On the other hand, the more complicated cloaca of the Urodeles has been the subject of many investigations ; the details of its normal structure have been investigated (e. g., Heidenhain, 1890 ;Dieckmann, 1927 ;Noble, 1931), and also its modifications under experimental conditions (Noble and Pope, 1929). In view of the increasing knowledge of the physiology of Amphibian reproduction and the rhythmical changes occurring in the gonads and ducts, any information regarding the reaction and behaviour of the cloaca during this cycle will be of interest.…”

Summary. The frog cloaca is a short simple tube receiving at its inner end the genital and urinary ducts, the rectum, and the allantoic bladder. The female cloaca diners from the male only in the addition of the Mullerian ducts. The ducts open on a ridge of vacuolated tissue marking the boundary of cloaca and rectum. It functions as part of a recto‐cloacal valve and brings the urinary openings close to the opening of the bladder. The lining epithelium of the cloaca is derived half from ectoderm and half from endoderm; the former in its stratification and glands resembles the skin, the latter is composed of tall glandular cells with some resemblance to those of the rectum. The general structure of the organ is similar throughout; the epithelium is backed by a layer of loose connective tissue containing lymph spaces; this in turn is enclosed by a layer of first circular and then longitudinal muscles embedded in dense connective tissue, to the outside of which are attached the extrinsic muscles of the cloaca. A sequence of changes occurs in the endodermal epithelium and the connective tissue beneath it which can be correlated with stages in the sexual cycle. Following the breeding season there is a collapse of the individual epithelial cells and of the folds, the latter apparently due to a reduction in the lymph spaces of the loose connective tissue; during the late summer and autumn the cells and folds are gradually built up to an intermediate condition which persists over the winter, reaching a final enlargement as the breeding season approaches. It is suggested that the function of this tissue is to flush out and lubricate the cloaca, particularly for the passage of eggs and sperm. Injection of growth‐stimulating extract of the anterior pituitary brings about an acceleration of the building‐up process, slight in June but marked in October, and injection of gonad‐stimulating extract appears to produce a tendency towards the post‐breeding condition, so it is suggested that this part of the cloaca is functionally part of the genital duct system, which is, according to Spaul and Gladwell, under pituitary control. These and other injections produce in the ectodermal part of the cloaca only the effects that they produce upon the skin itself.
