Findings from the "Effect of Early Exposure to Technology on Student Satisfaction with Online Education" research will be shared with the audience along with proposed solutions to overcome the lack of early exposure (prior college) to information and communication technology when taking courses in online education format.
In this session, findings from the "Effect of Early Exposure to Technology on Student Satisfaction with Online Education" research will be shared with the audience. Also, I will propose some solutions on how to overcome the lack of early exposure (prior college) to information and communication technology (ICT) when taking courses in online education format.
The study used the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology as a theoretical framework. The findings were that there was an indirect relationship between the early exposure to technology and student satisfaction based on the statistically significant correlation found between the early exposure to technology and effort expectancy, then between effort expectancy and use behavior and finally between use behavior and student satisfaction.
In this session, I will propose the implementation of some solutions based on the study findings, that benefit educators and managers who may be able to bring positive social changes necessary to prepare all students and workers for the technology-driven education and the workplace regardless of their socioeconomic status.
