Teachers Cloud-based Content Creation in light of the TPACK Framework: Implications for Teacher Education

摘要

With the advent ubiquitous computing, cloud-based content creation is becoming morepopular and readily accessible. In Malaysia the government equipped 10,000 publicprimary and secondary schools with 4G Internet connectivity and a cloud-based learningenvironment called the Frog VLE. This study investigated the alignment and compatibilitythe TPACK framework to teachers’ learning designs. A rubric was developed, based onthe TPACK framework, and after feedback from an expert panel, 152 cloud-based siteswere analysed. Results show that most areas were somewhat aligned with the TPACKframework while three areas were fully aligned and one area was minimally aligned. Thefully aligned areas were use of links, design navigation flow and design functionality. Theminimally aligned area was interactivity. This research finding can potentially informteacher education as if specifically taught this can empower teachers when creatingcloud-based content.
