Effectiveness of E-Learning as Seen by Meeting Planners

Sisson, Annamarie D.; Kwon, Junehee

Abstract

This exploratory study evaluates meeting planners’ self-efficacy and self-reported behaviors concerning continuing education through online learning, specifically massive open online courses (MOOC’s). It explores self-efficacy and self-reported behaviors toward e-learning in relation to preferred educational options for continuing education. It also identifies significant differences in meeting planners’ self-efficacy and self-reported behaviors about online education based upon they consider their current job to be a means in achieving their ultimate career goals. The researchers surveyed meeting planners globally through an online survey. In general, meeting planners preferred synchronous instructor-led courses but indicated a high level of motivation toward e-learning. Those who considered their job as one that can help them achieve their career goals indicated positive self-efficacy toward continuing education.
