Standard Measuring of E-Learning to Assess the Quality Level of E-Learning Outcomes: Saudi Electronic University Case Study

Abstract

Education in multiple forms and diverse geographical contexts delivers quality in all aspects of learning in which stakeholders such as students, instructors, and educational institutions play an important role. Quality assurance in higher education ensures the smooth functioning of the teaching and learning process by supporting the attainment of the desired quality levels of learning outcomes. This further leads to educational sustainability, as education has been acknowledged as a strategic constituent of sustainability-focused strategies in many educational contexts. Hence, it has become very important for educational institutions to maintain quality standards through the implementation of appropriate strategies, as quality is the lifeline of both Traditional Learning and E-Learning, and a lack of a suitable assessment standard affects the quality of learning. This research study attempts to address the existing gaps observed following a review of the related literature. This study collected qualitative data using an observation method through the observations and review of online software used at the Saudi Electronic University, namely Blackboard Learning Management System (LMS), Tawkeed Quality Management E-System, and Blue Survey software. In addition to this, the expertise of the research team members was also utilized for this research study in designing E-Learning quality dimensions. The purpose of this study was to propose an E-Learning Quality Assessment Standard that will help third-level educational institutions to assess their current teaching and learning practices of E-Learning and support them in enhancing the overall students’ experiences toward E-Learning within their institutions. As a research outcome, a conceptual quality assessment standard titled “SPECIFIERS” was proposed to offer a helping hand during the E-Learning quality assessment process to ensure sustainable education development of global educational institutions.

Research on Factors Affecting Online Learning Stickiness among College Students from the Perspective of NAM-TPB Integration

“…(2021) 31 , which may be due to differences in learning courses and the in uence of personal norms on online learning. It is also somewhat different from the study results of Singh et al (2023) 32 , which may be due to the traditional teaching concept that emphasizes learning as a process of social interaction. The separation of time and space in online learning has hindered the social interaction between teachers and students, so it is believed that online learning can only have better learning results if it matches students' ability.…”

Teknologi Pendidikan

“…Komponen perangkat keras dari teknologi pendidikan terdiri dari peralatan elektronik seperti proyektor, komputer, laptop, televisi, dan film. Proyektor sangat berguna untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang subjek, karena slide, grafik, diagram, dan peta dapat dilihat dalam bentuk yang diperbesar dan membantu untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang subjek dengan lebih jelas (Singh et al, 2023). Komputer dan laptop adalah perangkat elektronik paling penting yang digunakan untuk memberikan input dan mendapatkan output masing-masing proses belajar-mengajar (Reinsfield, 2020).…”

“…Berbasis Simulasi, menyediakan lingkungan belajar-mengajar yang dekat dengan skenario kehidupan nyata. Simulasi memberikan representasi dari situasi kehidupan nyata, fenomena, dan proses dalam lingkungan belajar (Singh et al, 2023). Pengajaran berbantuan teknologi semacam ini memberikan kesempatan bagi pembelajar untuk tampil di lingkungan yang realistis tanpa waktu, biaya, dan risiko yang terkait dengan situasi nyata.…”

The Electronic System for the Management of University Educational Programs

“…Analysis of recent research and publications. The relevance of research on developing electronic management modules of universities based on learning management systems is confirmed by scientific and practical publications of foreign and domestic scientists and practitioners [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Various sources were analysed to create the educational program management module as an "Electronic University" information system component.…”
