A conceptual model and evaluation process for educational technology learning resources: a legal case study

Abstract

The University of Southern Queensland (USQ), Australia, has more than twenty-five years experience in distributed education. More recently, USQ has embraced information and communication technologies to delivery learning resources in a more integrated and interactive environment to on-campus and external students. To understand the complex reactions of students to this new learning environment, a comprehensive conceptual model was developed to explain students’ beliefs, attitudes and intentions towards using technology based learning resources based on a legal case study, the Law CD. A detailed evaluation process provides direction for future research and will deliver valuable information to assist in the redesign and development of educational technologies.
