  • Opportunities and Challenges of using Web 2.0 Technologies in Government: A Conceptual Review
    2020
    Co-Authors: Uthayasankar Sivarajah, Weerakkody, Zahir Irani
    Abstract:

    Public administration has endured signification transformation over the last decade enabled largely through Information and Communication Technology. In recent times, second generation Web Technologies (Web 2.0) such as social media and networking sites are increasingly being used by governments for its digital activities ranging from public relations to knowledge management. However, as Web 2.0 Technologies are more interactive than the traditional models of information provision or creation of digital services, these Technologies have brought about a new set of opportunities and challenges to those government authorities. This study draws on the extant literature to examine the opportunities that Web 2.0 Technologies offer to public authorities and the challenges they may need to overcome when integrating these Technologies into their work practices.

  • Application of Web 2.0 Technologies in E-Government: A United Kingdom Case Study
    2014 47th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2014
    Co-Authors: Uthayasankar Sivarajah, Zahir Irani, Stephen Jones
    Abstract:

    Electronic government (e-Government) has endured significant transformation over the last decade and currently, it is making further leaps by incorporating modern Technologies such as second generation Web (Web 2.0) Technologies. However, since the development and use of this kind of technology is still at its early stages in the public sector, research about the use of Web 2.0 in this domain is still highly tentative and lacks theoretical underpinning. This paper reports the preliminary findings of an in-depth case study in the United Kingdom (UK) public sector, which explore the application of Web 2.0 Technologies in the local government authority (LGA). The findings elicited from the case study offer an insight into information systems (IS) evaluation criterions and impact factors of Web 2.0 from both a practical setting and an internal organisational perspective. This paper concludes that a combined analysis of the evaluation and impact factors rather than a singular approach would better assist the decision making process that leads to effective application of Web 2.0 Technologies. It also highlights the significant impact and perceived effect of adoption of such Technologies.

  • Student and Faculty Use and Perceptions of Web 2.0 Technologies in Higher Education
    Handbook of Research on Web 2.0 3.0 and X.0, 2020
    Co-Authors: Haya Ajjan, Richard Hartshorne, Richard E. Ferdig
    Abstract:

    In this chapter, the authors provide evidence for the potential of Web 2.0 applications in higher education through a review of relevant literature on educational technology and social networking. Additionally, the authors report the results and implications of a study exploring student and faculty awareness of the potential of Web 2.0 Technologies to support and supplement classroom instruction in higher education. Also, using the decomposed theory of planned behavior as the theoretical foundation, the authors discuss factors that influence student and faculty decisions to adopt Web 2.0 Technologies. The chapter concludes with a list of recommendations for classroom use of Web 2.0 applications, as well as implications for policy changes and future research.

  • Investigating faculty decisions to adopt Web 2.0 Technologies: Theory and empirical tests
    Internet and Higher Education, 2008
    Co-Authors: Haya Ajjan, Richard Hartshorne
    Abstract:

    While students are increasing their use of emerging Technologies such as text messaging, wikis, social networks, and other Web 2.0 applications, this is not the case with many university faculty. The purpose of this study was to assess faculty's awareness of the benefits of Web 2.0 to supplement in-class learning and better understand faculty's decisions to adopt these tools using the decomposed theory of planned behavior (DTPB) model. Findings indicated that while some faculty members feel that some Web 2.0 Technologies could improve students' learning, their interaction with faculty and with other peers, their writing abilities, and their satisfaction with the course; few choose to use them in the classroom. Additional results indicated that faculty's attitude and their perceived behavioral control are strong indicators of their intention to use Web 2.0. A number of implications are drawn highlighting how the use of Web 2.0 could be useful in the classroom.
