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 25 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.
