Implementation and Use of e-Learning Tools by Lecturers at the University of A Corunna

Abstract

This article discusses the most relevant results obtained in a survey of professors from the University of A Corunna (belonging to various scientific fields) who use e-learning systems to complement their lecture classes (Cohen and Manion, 1990).

One of the main objectives of the survey was to identify the level of use made by lecturers of telematic applications and tools for teletraining systems.

Based on the results from this research we can say that electronic mail is the most used tool (average 3.72), while podcast (average 1.34), audio conference (average 1.42) and CMS (average 1.42) are the least used.

Inferential analyses of the lecturers at the University of A Coruña showed that there are personal (such as age) and professional variables (experience with virtual environments and position) that significantly influence their use of communication tools, telematic applications and communication tools within e-learning systems.
