Abstract: This paper presents results from a questionnaire (n=333) designed to gain an understanding of instructor motivations and experience with social media use in educational practice. Data on overall use of social media, and instructors’ use of social media in classes are applied to assess factors leading to present and future use of social media in teaching, using a framework based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) model. Our findings show use in teaching is driven by factors associated with UTAUT’s Performance Expectancy construct, i.e., personal engagement with social media, and Moderating Condition of age, with older participants making greater use of social media in teaching. Other constructs associated with use are Habit (experience teaching online), Social Influence (colleagues using social media), Effort Expectancy (awareness of barriers, staying informed), Facilitating Conditions (institutional technology support) and Moderating Conditions (teaching at a two-year college).

Abstract: Can lessons from IS research be applied on a small scale in rural environments to help a country develop? Students in rural schools in Belize often lack access to well-trained subject experts, score lower on national exams, and enroll in secondary schools at a lower rate than urban students. Utilizing mobile Internet technologies, students living without electricity can now access educational resources similar to urban students. How best to utilize these resources to improve students’ learning outcomes remains to be solved. This article first describes and compares a theory originating in the developed world (self-regulated learning) with one originating in the developing world (minimally invasive education). Second, it presents a framework combining constructs from both theories. Finally, it focuses on learning outcomes as measured by students’ cognitive ability, self-efficacy and motivation and compares a self-organized learning environment with one enhanced by self-regulated strategies, through a quasiexperimental design.
