“…Triangulation [7] has been successfully used to compare survey data and log file data of Learning Management Systems [15,19]. In this paper we look at methodological triangulation as a way to increase the credibility and validity of the collected survey data by combining them with data logged by the LCS.…”

Recorded lectures provide an integral recording of live lectures, enabling students to review those lecture at their own pace and whenever they want. Most research into the use of recorded lectures by students has been done by using surveys or interviews. Our research combines this data with data logged by the recording system. We will present the two data collections and cover areas where the data can be triangulated to increase the credibility of the results or to question the student responses. The results of the triangulation show its value, in that it identifies discrepancies in the students' responses in particular where it concerns their perceptions of the amount of use of the recorded lectures. It also shows that we lack data for a number of other areas. We will still need surveys and interviews to get a complete picture.

“…Additionally, it is crucial to support such implementation with an analysis of usage and satisfaction studies from perspective of students the ultimate client of learning management system (Lonn, 2009).In literature, several factors have been found to correlate with student's satisfaction with learning management system (LMS). Some of these factors are course content (Hassan, 2007), perceived usefulness (Sun, et al,2008), communication quality and knowledge transmission (Lonn, 2009), as well as student selfefficacy, previous achievements and computer literacy (Shu-Sheng,2008). Nevertheless, evaluating students' satisfaction toward e-learning required multidisciplinary approach to address the personal attitudes with respect to LMS (Wang,2003).…”

E-Learning is a fairly recent word used to define a form of learning that can be performed via websites online learning. The impact of contingent factors on the relationship between six predictors and e-learning effectiveness was investigated. The development and implementation of e-learning today has become an important phases in university. This study is centered on evaluating the e-learning effectiveness in UTM. And in this study, the critical factors affecting e-learning effectiveness were investigated through a survey conducted on students as participants. A total of 268 Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) (undergraduate students) students were used in the survey. Several factors have been found to correlate with e-learning effectiveness which includes self-efficacy, interface, community, usefulness, students' satisfaction and intention to use elearning. The results show that e-learning use positively and significantly related to students' satisfaction, usefulness that is impact intention to use in turn affect e-learning effectiveness.

“…This is evident in the low uptake of e-learning systems by educators regardless of the systems" role to achieve the desired pedagogical goals [13] and being good sources of pedagogically meaningful information. It is on this premise that we sought to establish educators" view about elearning system tools as there is limited literature explaining such a domain [16].…”

Abstract-This paper examines the Zimbabwean educators' perceptions about e-learning systems in pedagogy. We use the term "educators" to refer to the teaching staff at a university context. The paper sought to present the views of the educators about e-learning. It is our assumption that these views could assist in explaining the existent second order digital divide currently persisting in higher education institutions in African developing nations such as Zimbabwe. The digital divide has resulted in a mismatch between the wide spread investment and the actual use of Information and communication technologies (ICT) like the e-learning systems. The anticipated contributions of such systems to education are yet to materialize since their pedagogical use in teaching and learning is still at its infancy. Higher education institutions are being robbed of the returns from the costly technological investments while digital natives are deprived of the ICT affordances, which their first world counterparts are enjoying. Using Giddens; Structuration Theory, the paper attempted to establish the meanings the educators attach to e-learning system platforms as tools for elevating university pedagogy. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from educators at one of the sixteen universities in Zimbabwe, a developing nation in Southern Africa. The findings as discussed in the paper reveal that despite being aware of the existence and the value of e-learning system tools, educators' integration of these tools in teaching is insignificant. This could be attributed to their concerns directed to the learning institution that require immediate redress if the widespread usage of elearning tools is to be realized.
