With the increased spread of HE distance learning into a wide variety of contexts
it is important for us to understand the factors involved in its successful deployment
for students. E-learning has a great potential to support effective and empowering
HE distance learning (Wilson, 2007; Adams, 2005; Hughes, 2005). However, within two
secure environments, prisons and health service, the factors involved are complex.
This paper reviews HE e-learning technology perceptions within these two contrasting
contexts from 225 students' and stakeholders' perspectives. Previous research has
detailed literature limitations on obtaining students' perspectives of e-learning
(Conole et al, 2006). These limitations are compounded when other stakeholder perceptions
are not integrated (Sun et al, 2007; Adams et al, 2005; Millen at al, 2002). This
paper developed and applied an e-learning framework for student and stakeholder perceptions.
This social psychological framework, is based on previous practice based e-learning
studies and is used here to synthesise two large-scale case studies. The framework
focuses on three concepts learner Access (e.g. learning design, technology design,
physical access), Awareness (e.g. of resources, their usage and support for e-learning
tasks) and Acceptability (e.g. trust, privacy, aesthetics, engagement). Students'
and stakeholders' perceptions identified high levels of students' empowerment through
e-learning whilst still requiring a further pedagogical tailoring and an awareness
of support. However, serious problems within these contexts have identified blocks
to e-learning through stakeholders perceptions and fears of acceptability (i.e. issues
of risk and trust). Ultimately, through understanding competing perceptions and needs
within these complex environments we can support the effective technological development,
pedagogical design and deployment of e-learning systems. |
