El propósito del estudio ha sido analizar si se presentan diferencias de género en el uso pedagógico de la plataforma Moodle, encuestando una población de 640 docentes de una institución de educación superior técnico profesional de Chile. El estudio ha sido realizado a través del análisis estadístico basado en la prueba de significación de hipótesis nula y la variable género ha sido analizada de forma descontextualizada, sin tomar en consideración las interacciones que se puedan dar con otras variables. Entre los resultados principales se destaca la evidencia de que no se presentan diferencias significativas entre profesores y profesoras el uso didáctico de la plataforma Moodle, así como en la auto calificación del dominio de la misma. The widespread use of technology in daily life, and particularly in education, increasingly influences both the self-perception of Information and Communication Technology skills and teachers’ digital competence. This study aims to analyze if there are gender differences in the pedagogical use of the Moodle platform, by conducting surveys among a population of 640 teachers from a technical professional higher education institution in Chile. The study of gender differences has been conducted through a statistical analysis based on a significance test of null hypothesis and the gender variable has been analyzed in a decontextualized manner, without taking into account the interactions that they could have with other variables. Among the primary results, evidence shows that there are no significant differences between female and male teachers with regard to the educational use of the Moodle platform as well as self-qualification with respect to proficiency on the platform

The use of technology in UT instructional media allows students of the Open University of Indonesia (Universitas Terbuka, UT) to improve their knowledge and skills without being hampered by distance, space, and time. This study explored the perception of UT alumni and stakeholders about the benefit of using information and communication technology (ICT) and learning media obtained during their study period in UT. The information was gathered from a tracer study conducted in 2008, which was used to evaluate 5 study programs at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Educational Science in the use of ICT and instructional media. The data were collected from 37 UT regional offices through questionnaires to a sample of alumni teachers and their principals, as well as interviews with selected alumni and stakeholders. According to the surveys and interviews, both alumni and stakeholders perceived that alumni had improved in their knowledge and skills of ICT and learning media. However, according to alumni perceptions, the knowledge and skills they had learned from UT were relatively low. On the other hand, stakeholders perceived that the alumni had good knowledge and skills of ICT and learning media. We argue that differences in perception between alumni and stakeholders result from different experiences and expectations on the part of each group.

The digital technology has permeated almost every aspect of life. Meanwhile, the responses from the field of language teaching in Indonesia to this new development have been scarce. The paper aims to provide an answer to the question whether language teachers perceive Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a threat or a helpful assistant. To achieve this, a survey was conducted to 110 English teachers in Java, Indonesia. Five closed-ended items and two open-ended items in an online questionnaire asked them several questions about what conditions they see as threats, how they perceive ICT, and what digital facilities they have been using in their work. The results show that most of them perceived ICT positively, seeing it as a beneficial rather than threatening force. To them, ICT has been an attractive source that provides learning resources, fosters communication and collaboration, and spices up teaching-learning activities. Those who expressed their worry over ICT mentioned the importance of teachers’ upgrading their ICT skills and called for institutional support for the teachers. Three models, TAM (Technological Acceptance Model), UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology), and TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) were then discussed to address the need for helping teachers adapt to the fast-changing digital technology.

Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation is an innovative rural community in Quebec. Located 130 kilometers north of Ottawa, it is the closest First Nation to the Canadian capital. In both population and territory, Kitigan Zibi is the largest of the ten Algonquin communities. Broadband connectivity and information and communication technologies (ICT) are important to the community and incorporated into everyday operations. This paper explores the use of technology in the education sector in Kitigan Zibi, in particular the situation of having technology readily available at school and less so at home. This transition from a technology-filled classroom to limited or no ICT access at home is a challenge, not only for individual students and their families but also for the community as a whole.
