Subclaims¶

q2 i? 34% and 35% of students at the two Structured institutions reported high variation of use, versus 23% at the Collegium and only 3% at the Bureaucratic institution. → Czerniewicz 2009 q2 i? Staff high variation was greatest at the Unstructured Collegium institution (24%) and lower at the Structured Corporate institutions (15%). → Czerniewicz 2009 (2)

Evidence¶

Czerniewicz, L. & Brown, C. (2009). A study of the relationship between institutional policy, organisational culture and elearning use in four South African universities. Computers & Education, 53, 121-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2009.01.006

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Descriptive survey findings on variation of use across 26 ICT-mediated activities (section 4.5, Figure 6); no inferential statistics printed.

"Figure 6 illustrates students' variety of use showing that there is more variation in the two Structured institutions (34% and 35% reported engaging often in more than 10 ICT related learning activities"

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Staff variation findings from the same survey section; the authors flag the small sample and offer qualitative explanations including perceived coercion, uneven staff skills, and specialised use types.

"staff from the Unstructured Collegium institution exhibited more variation of use where 24% indicated they engaged their students often in more than 10 ICT related learning activities. There was less variety of use reported by staff in the Structured Corporate institutions (15% indicated high variation of use)"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Staff individual ICT use frequency is higher in the Unstructured Collegium institution than in the Structured Corporate institutions, while student frequency is higher in the Structured types — related
• Staff at Structured Corporate institutions report markedly better resources and support than staff at Unstructured institutions, with teaching-venue adequacy the greatest disparity — related
• Institutional elearning policy is associated with more courses using ICTs, with Structured Corporate institutions reporting the highest course use and the Unstructured Bureaucratic institution the lowest — related
• The Unstructured Bureaucratic institutional type is the least enabling context for elearning, showing little evidence of either top-down or bottom-up change — related
