Abstract

With the emergence of the cloud computing technology, virtual learning environment (VLE) may play an imperative role in promoting instructional effectiveness of ubiquitous learning. However, the existing literature on VLE has been mostly based on the acceptance of VLE from the perspective of the undergraduate students. There is a dearth in studies on the VLE instructional effectiveness from the K-12 teachers’ perspective, the effects of Self Determination Theory and Channel Expansion Theory. Existing VLE instruments have not been rigorously validated and do not consider the importance of cultural differences. This research aims at creating and rigorously validating an instrument to study the cloud-based Frog VLE’s instructional effectiveness in the Malaysian cultural setting. The robustness of the instrument was validated using structural equation modeling, expert panel, Q-sort, pre-test, pilot-test and fieldwork study. This research may offer a parsimonious instrument to evaluate the instructional effectiveness of the Frog VLE for subsequent studies contributing to theory building in the IS literature.

10. Conclusions

Through this paper, we reported our efforts in developing and validating an effective measurement instrument to measure the adoption and instructional effectiveness of using the Frog VLE in Malaysia. This instrument is now ready for subsequent studies which we will conduct in the near future. The findings from these studies will be submitted to the Malaysian Ministry of Education so that effective measures and strategies may be drawn up to further improve the standard of education in Malaysia.
