The entire reliability value was 0.96 and the discrimination index was between 0.49-0.80. The results disclosed as follows: 1) most students owned laptops (75%), followed by the smartphone (58%), as well as the University students keep up with the newest technology. This is becomes evident when examining the student's length of ownership of the various devices, which is not more than three years. It becomes obvious that students buy new devices all the time and the majority of students use these devices in learning (over 86%). The study also found that teachers use laptops and projectors the most in their classroom (>70%). The communication channel that the university provided such as the online learning system, was not used as m...

Technology, particularly mobile phones, serve as communication and information-seeking devices connected to the Internet. Technology appears in all levels of society from the rice field, the market place, the grocery store self-serve, online banking and shopping and school classrooms. These technologies are changing the way we communicate and socialise, and alter traditional ways of conducting business and making and maintaining social and family connections. How we use technology affects the development of new technologies, and vice versa, as new technology affects how we use it. This paper compares the interview findings of a much larger study conducted in a Thai university and an older dataset (2008) conducted across two Australian universities to determine whether the way young people use technology has changed during the last eight years. In both studies how students in their early years at university used technology and felt about technology were examined. Findings from the current research indicate that attitudes to technology and cultures of technology use amongst young people have changed little since the original study’s data collection eight years ago

These technologies appear at all levels of society, particularly mobile phones which are multifunctional and serve as communication and information-seeking devices. Users can order goods from the grocery store self-serve, bank and shop online, and participate in distance learning. This paper reports on the initial findings of a much larger study conducted in a Thai and two Australian universities and explores how students use technology for learning. Discussion also explores young people's ownership of technology and examines the myth of the digital native. By comparing current (2016) students' use in a Thai university with an older (2008) Australian study it aims to determine whether the way young people use technology has changed during the last eight years.

The sample of this study composed of 33 randomized students from the 3rd and 4th year student at NPU. A five-rating scale questionnaire with 97% confidence level was used to collect data. Percentage, mean, standard deviation, dependent t-test were used to analyze the obtained data. It was found that all items asking students’ satisfaction of PIT in calculus class got the highest mean in every facet. The students were happy with the PIT. They thought that the PIT was more useful than a conventional instruction, could increase their solutions, provided them with better perception, helped them with team working, and helped them helped them o...

The satisfaction levels with online learning for both groups was high. Both groups also felt that online education helps them to be more independent and allows them more flexibility about where and when to study. The general public group also felt they could access information easily from the web while studying online. Both groups agreed that online learning is very beneficial for the learner. In this research the two groups, students and staff, had the same attitudes and opinions about online learning. Both groups felt that there were few differences between physical classes and online learning. One difference was that online learning creates more opportunities for interaction between friends. As for expectations of online learning, both groups would like to see an increase in online teaching and learning in the future.

However, it is a common problem that, when forming teams in a university setting, students know little about each other, resulting in dysfunctional teams. To help alleviate this, we ran three small preliminary assignments before students formed a team for the last major project. The idea was to encourage students to work with a variety of group members before they could choose their final team. The results showed that half of the final groups had a makeup that changed from their first initial group.

There are considerable barriers posed by the technical environment and the physical separation of staff from their students. However the online environment, how staff and students perceive online teaching and learning and the perceived differences between delivery on-campus and online also create barriers. In many ways this could be defined as a psychological barrier rather than a set of physical challenges to overcome. This study shows that students, almost by default, have a negative view of online learning and only use it when absolutely necessary, even in a school with a 10 year history of elearning implementation. Similarly, many staff within this study clearly indicated a belief that on-campus teaching produced better student outcomes, particularly in computer science subjects.

Web technology has been adopted to assist learners with real-time studying at a distance. Consequently, Web delivery has grown rapidly and has been used as a vehicle for learning. Many universities have developed wholly online distance education programs. These changes in distance education have been developed in an attempt to provide easier access to educational opportunities for students who are located remotely from the university, who are working or who have other constraints/commitments such as family commitments. However, online distance learning in Computer Science courses remains challenging for both instructors and students. Research has shown that there is a significant risk factor for online courses in Computer Science. Course developers and instructors need to be aware of the particular n...

The samples in this research are 37 students. They are all the students who study in an online classroom for the whole semester during the COVID19 global pandemic (2019-2021).The questionnaire and the interview instruments were designed to clarify participants’ attitude and used a five point Likert scales and the entire reliability value is 0.80. The statistics used for data analysis were included descriptive statistics; and proportion and percentage, and inferential statistics such as multiple regression and Chi-square- test. The result disclose as follows : 1) The students showed that all of the four dimensions of this variables test of which one variables is extrinsic, have signifi...

These online courses use web technology as a distributed learning mechanism. However, online distance learning in Computer Science courses remains challenging for both teachers and students. Research has shown that there is a significant risk factor for online courses in Computer Science. Course developers and teachers need to be aware of the particular needs of Computer Science students when establishing online courses, if they wish to graduate successful and satisfied students. This paper aims to identify some of the challenges in teaching Computer Science topics online, and identify useful support strategies to enhance learning through the informed use of webbased elearning.
