distance education, online content development, online project management, collaborative toolsAbstract
This research, planned as a descriptive study, was accomplished with the participation of 43 employees and 2 administrators working in the Content Development Team at Community School of Distance Education in 2010-2011 academic year. In order to examine the effect the use of this tool on the content development processes, before and after the experimental process, pretest and posttest were applied to managers and employees for collecting their opinions. In the experimental process, single-group pretest-posttest experimental design was used. The independent variable of this research is the use of a collaborative online project tracking and management tool, and the dependent variable is employee opinions. The data obtained from the opinions of the organization managers and employees were analyzed with the Wilcoxon signed rank test, a non-parametric statistical method. The findings of this study are: tools like ÇİTA build up the project management process and facilitate project tracking in content development processes in terms of management, save the time in reaching the end of the project, make team communication healthy and fast, and finally the usage of these kinds of tools is simple, functional, safe, and reliable in terms of tool. Özet Bir durum çalışması olarak ele alınan bu araştırma, 2010-2011 eğitim öğretim yılı Gazi Üniversitesi Uzaktan Eğitim Meslek Yüksekokulu İçerik Geliştirme Ekibinde yer alan 43 çalışan ve 2 yöneticinin katılımı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Aracın süreçte kullanılmasının öncesi ve sonrasında, bu aracın kullanımının içerik geliştirme süreçlerine olan etkisini incelemek amacıyla yöneticilerin ve çalışanların görüşlerinin alındığı öntest ve sontest uygulanmıştır. Deneysel işlem sürecinde tek grup öntest sontest deneysel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bağımsız değişkeni geliştirilen çevrimiçi işbirliğine dayalı proje takip ve yönetim aracının kullanımı, bağımlı değişkeni ise çalışan görüşleridir. Kurumda çalışanların ve yöneticilerin görüşlerinden elde edilen verilerin çözümlenmesinde parametrik olmayan istatistiksel bir yöntem olan Wilcoxon İşaretli Sıralar Testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları: Bu tür araçların, içerik geliştirme süreçlerinde yönetim açısından proje yönetim sürecini desteklediği ve proje takibini kolaylaştırdığı, projenin sonuca ulaşmasında zamandan tasarruf edildiği; ekip iletişimini sağlıklı ve hızlı kıldığı ve son olarak araç açısından bakıldığında aracın kullanımının kolay, işlevsel, güvenli ve güvenilir olduğu bulgularına ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu araçların uzaktan eğitim alanındaki kullanımının standartlaşmasına katkı sağlaması umulmaktadır.Downloads
