Applying innovative
technologies into higher
education: Using NTHU
as an example
informed by studies
Background Disruptive innovative technology in higher
education
Disruptive innovative technologies refer to using emerging
technologies to flip established educational environment by
increasing access, cutting costs, and revolutionizing delivery
(Christensen, 2007).
Mobile devices have been prevalently used for daily life today
(Looi et al., 2010; Wang et al., 2013).
The availability of high-speed Internet connection has further
increased all kind of open online courses.
Major universities have jumped into the open educational
resources, such as open online courses (Atkins et al., 2007; The
William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, 2013).
John Hennessey considered online education as the coming
“Tsunami” in the uncertain future of higher education (Auletta,
2012).
Background Transformation, challenges, and chasm in higher
education
The current wave of net generation (Jones, Ramanau, Cross, &
Healing, 2010) and digital native (Prensky, 2001) brings a blend
of behaviors, attitudes, and expectations creating
transformation for learning.
Universities should analyze the needs of this new generation and
transform the infrastructure such as pedagogy, digital content,
platforms, and learning devices to fulfill expectations of students
(Hartman, Moskal, & Dziuban, 2005).
The changing role of university…
In the 21st century, great universities have a responsibility to
drive global change. They will not merely offer an exclusive
subset of the ruling class; they will empower and equip every
student to facilitate learning (Kolowich, 2014).
This study aimed to play as the innovator to conduct a sequence of
holistic studies with early adopters and provide higher education a
useful lens in understanding the adoption of disruptive innovative
technologies.

• No related holistic study indicates the

• Institute administrators and teachers
do not know how to do.
Background In the information age, we want to know…
1. How could the disruptive innovative technologies facilitate the
renewal of higher education? What might be disrupted?
2. How could the disruptive innovative technologies be integrated in
an authentic learning setting for different domain subjects in higher
education?
3. Do the disruptive innovative technologies make any effect on
students’ learning performance or motivation? If yes, how do they
impact students’ learning?
4. How should universities face the challenges and transformation that
disruptive innovative technologies brought?

Background
The emergence of various innovative mobile technologies has
brought lots of design issues and challenges (Fallahkhair et al., 2004;
Naismith et al., 2005).
This study aimed to redesign the NTHU OCW platform based on
cloud computing and responsive web design and understand how
the platform could extend the reach of open online course across
various devices.

Study I: Redesigning open online course platform

Results (1/2)
1. Main challenges and solutions to redesign open online course
(1) screen size, (2) navigation, (3) material format,
(4) network, and (5) storage.
Challenges of mobile devices NTHU OCW solutions
1. Screen size The layout is not suitable for a small
screen display and the context is far too
small and unreadable.
The system should provide different layouts for
various screen sizes and resolutions. The text
should be automatically reflowed to make
reading easier.
2. Navigation Finding the course from the category on
a mobile screen is annoying and
tedious. Multi level navigation menus
are difficult for mobile devices
The content and structure need rewriting. The
form and menu should be designed to be
simple, such as a one level menu design.
3. Material Format The diversity of each operating system
does not support diverse video formats.
For each video format, NTHU OCW provides
various formats as mp4, flv, wmv.
4. Network The connection via mobile connectivity
might be slow.
Systems should provide high and low quality
videos to allow switching according to the
connectivity.
5. Storage Not all the storage of devices is big
enough to support all video files.
NTHU OCW supports different sized files for
learners to choose.

Conclusions and further thoughts
Significances and contributions
To date few studies use a holistic range of practical examples discussing on
how disruptive innovative technologies intergraded in the authentic learning
environment.
The six-year research unlocked the hidden potential of the disruptive
innovative technologies for the different domain subjects in the context
of higher education.
The longitudinal research serves as a systematical and constructive
reference for higher education institutes, instructors, students, and platform
programmers for further implement the online degree programs, courses,
and virtual universities.
For school administrator and instructors, this dissertation helps them to
discover the surprising new ideas and strategies.
For students in the college, learning in the classrooms has been flipped
to be a self pace and active learning.
For life-long learners, they can find the convenience and flexibility of
online learning method to match for their learning goals and styles.
Where are we going from here?
The answers are up to our thoughts and
collective efforts…
