Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Staff at Structured Corporate institutions report markedly better resources and support than staff at Unstructured institutions, with teaching-venue adequacy the greatest disparity — related
• The Unstructured Bureaucratic institutional type is the least enabling context for elearning, showing little evidence of either top-down or bottom-up change — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Variety of ICT use shows a reversed pattern: students in Structured Corporate institutions report the most varied use, but staff variety is highest in the Unstructured Collegium institution — related
