Abstract

UAE Higher education institutions were among the first institutions in the Middle East to adopt Blackboard Learn (BBLearn) as the learning management system for their e-learning activities. Regardless of the large investments spent of BBLearn, the adoption of this system among the faculty is still slow. This qualitative case study research aimed to investigate the need for the creation of a BBLearn community of practice (CoP) in a public higher education institution in the United Arab Emirates, its anticipated benefits and its positive impact on increasing the adoption of BBLearn among the computer department faculty. A qualitative case study research methodology was used, and data was collected from faculty of the public higher education institution. The findings revealed that the faculty support the creation of a BBLearn CoP and they identified its anticipated benefits and listed them. The findings also confirmed that the creation of a BBLearn CoP will have positive impact on the adoption of BBLearn among the computer department faculty. This study confirmed the importance of communities of practice and their roles in sharing and advancing knowledge. It also revealed the need to create a BBLearn CoP to address the slow adoption of BBLearn among faculty.

阿联酋高等院校黑板学习实践社区的使用
阿联酋高等教育机构是中东地区首批采用Blackboard Learn (BBLearn)作为其电子学习活动的学习管理系统的机构之一。尽管BBLearn投入了大量资金,但该系统在教师中的采用速度仍然很慢。本定性案例研究旨在调查在阿拉伯联合酋长国的一所公立高等教育机构中创建BBLearn实践社区(CoP)的必要性,其预期效益及其对增加计算机系教师采用BBLearn的积极影响。本研究采用定性个案研究方法,数据收集自公立高等教育机构的教师。调查结果显示,教师们支持创建BBLearn CoP,他们确定了预期的好处,并列出了这些好处。调查结果还证实,创建BBLearn CoP将对计算机系教师采用BBLearn产生积极影响。这项研究证实了实践社区的重要性及其在分享和推进知识方面的作用。它还揭示了创建BBLearn CoP的必要性,以解决BBLearn在教师中采用缓慢的问题。
