• In Event: Exploring the Educational Efficacy of Online Learning Environments and Social Media Marketing in Postsecondary Education

Abstract

The appropriate device usage and application, as well as students' perceived comfort with technology may influence the success within the e-Learning setting. Moreover, institutional awareness of student technology needs - including student support needs as it relates to accessible technology - is essential to create an inclusive and supportive learning course environment. Surveying post-traditional students enrolled in blended and online coursework, this study investigated device usage and perceptions of technology use, accessibility, and support within e-Learning-based learning environments.
