摘要

This research investigates the experiences of faculty members using iTunesU when teaching a Foundation Mathematics course (MATH 020). This course is one of two Math courses in the New Foundations Studies Program running in the Higher Education Institution in the Middle East (HIEME). It covers the foundational knowledge needed to develop comprehension and proficiency in the use and application of basic building blocks of mathematical concepts. The phenomenological approach has been chosen to help understand and explore the qualitatively different ways in which particular faculty members experience the use of iTunesU as a course management tool. Two specific questions were considered: (1) “How did tutors experience the use of iTunesU in teaching MATH 020 classes?” (2) “What values, if any, have been derived from using this tool in teaching MATH 020 classes?” Three course instructors were identified and selected for the interview process. Data collection in this study was conducted using a digitally-recorded unstructured interview, which allowed the participants to fully voice their experiences. The data explicitation process resulted in creating a number of themes. A list of similar themes were then grouped together to form five central themes representing the essence of the original ones. The central themes were: (1) to foster ubiquitous learning; (2) to encourage students' participation; (3) to foster independent learning; (4) to manage teachers' workload; and (5) to provide a repository for the entire course. This was followed by a discussion of the opportunities and challenges arising from using iTunesU in the given classroom, as well as the description of the limitations within this study
