The Students Perspective on Using an E-Learning Platform: E-OWL
Araújo, Isabel; Faria, Pedro Miguel
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on e-Learning (Virtual, Jul 21-25, 2020)
The evolution of ICT and its adoption in higher education is driving greater interactivity in teaching and learning processes. The teaching/learning paradigm has been changing. Both educational actors, teacher and student, are increasingly adapting to use technologies. This article presents a study that enhances how technologies can be used in the teaching and learning process, through a mathematics content platform, for higher education students. A survey of the state of the art was made in order to demonstrate some advantages of the teaching-learning process, the teacher's and student's behavior profiles and their role in relation to the use of new technologies. The main objective of this study is to analyze the student's view on the use of the E-OWL platform in the learning process, and thus contribute to the development of more interactive and motivating learning environments. The privileged instrument in this study was the questionnaire, applied after the use of the platform in an educational context, to students of the Computer Graphics and Multimedia Engineering degree. The results obtained revealed that students demonstrate ease in using the E-OWL platform and that was useful in supporting the course, stimulating continuous study and allowing self-regulation of learning, confirming the relevance of an increasing adoption of ICT in an e-learning context.
