Abstract:
This study identifies the level of adoption and usability of the teachers in using the online educational applications (OEA) in the unforeseen implementation of online distance learning. A researcher-made questionnaire was deployed to identify the uniqueness of the use of the OEA in terms of the nature of the subject, availability of resources, modalities of learning, and technological advancement of the teacher. These variables were analyzed with the result of the evaluation of system usability to identify how different factors are affecting the usability of each application. A structured set of interview questions to record the experience of the respondents in the use of different OEAs. The study revealed that the teachers and schools have only fairly adequate possession of devices for teaching and learning. This circumstance is related to the result of the usability of the OEA as perceived by the teachers. The teachers described the usability of Kahoot, Quizizz, Padlet, and Mentimeter as marginally passive which did not meet the 68th percentile to become acceptable. The technology skills, availability of technological teaching resources, and the system usability of the applications have a significant relationship, proving that not being rated to the maximum score makes the three variables agree with each other. The use of online education applications will not be fully successful if there are some areas without full support such as continuous training for the teachers and the provision of teaching resources.
