This qualitative study investigated the faculty members’ perceptions
of a Moodle LMS training program and the impact of this training on their
instructional practice at Zarqa Private University in Jordan. Data were
collected via interviews with 23 faculty members and document analysis for
samples of their teaching materials.
The results indicated that faculty members had different perspectives
toward the Moodle training according to their levels of technological expertise.
They considered the Moodle training as an effective strategy for providing
basic knowledge and skills about using technology. However, because of
time commitments, teaching styles, and individual levels of proficiency with
technology, a “one-size-fits-all” training program for faculty does not achieve
the desired outcomes.
As an alternative to the generic model of training, findings from the data
suggest that training activities such as one-on-one instruction, instructional
video tapes, hands-on workshops, and online training may better support
faculty’s implementation of Moodle tools in the teaching and learning
process.
