Description
This study explored perceived enablers and barriers of Blackboard utilisation by Saudi Arabian and Australian lecturers. Results revealed that lecturers in both countries used Blackboard as a repository of materials, largely due to the technical problems and lack of training. Results also showed that Saudi and Australian lecturers have different perceptions regarding Blackboard uptake in their teaching and students' learning. Australian lecturers were more likely to incorporate other online platforms than Blackboard in their teaching. Saudi lecturers, particularly women lecturers, were more enthusiastic to use Blackboard as it allowed them to connect with a diversity of students.
