Challenges Surrounding The Use of Technology Enabled Learning in Higher Education: Towards The Development of a Technology Management Framework

Published:04 December 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

The use of Technology-Enabled Learning (TEL) has become increasingly popular in higher education as a teaching and learning methodology. TEL has been acknowledged for its various benefits, including increased flexibility and convenience for both educators and students. However, integrating TEL into the classroom setting also presents unique challenges. Despite the importance of understanding these challenges, limited research has been conducted from the perspectives of various stakeholders. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study addresses the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges associated with the use of TEL in higher education. The findings show that these challenges include self-regulatory, technological literacy and competency, student isolation, technological sufficiency, technological complexity, learning resource, and learning environment. The results of this study provide a foundation for developing a technology management framework that considers the needs and perspectives of students. The challenges and potential solutions presented in this research can be used as a practical guide for managing the use of technology in the classroom effectively. By considering the challenges of TEL and incorporating practical solutions, educators can optimize the use of technology in their teaching practices and improve student learning outcomes. Overall, this research contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of the challenges associated with TEL in higher education and practical solutions for managing the use of technology in the classroom. The findings can be used by educators and institutions to enhance their understanding of TEL and to develop effective strategies for implementing and managing technology in the classroom.
