Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to shed light on how the composition of future blended learning (BL) courses can be changed to provide students with quality academic learning experiences. The model suggested in this study will guide instructors on how to design their course learning outcomes to ensure effective delivery.

Design/methodology/approach

The new model has been developed by combining Bloom's taxonomy and Carman's model. Later, a new framework entitled “PATHCO” based on an extensive literature review is applied to enhance the quality of all five components of Carman's model.

Findings

The PATHCO conceptual framework has been developed to ensure quality in the five main teaching and learning factors. This framework covers criteria like pedagogical, assessments, technical, health care and organizational. Further research is required to broaden the main elements of the suggested framework and to validate this research through a case study.

Originality/value

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the landscape of the education sector by encouraging an extensive acceptance of technology-enhanced learning and teaching. Blended learning (BL) has become the most appropriate medium to deliver online learning (OL). However, educators and students have reported dissatisfaction with the BL mode of delivery. To address this dissatisfaction, this study outlines, using the PATHCO model, all the essential building blocks which are required to find the right blend of both face-to-face and online components.

Abstract

Purpose

The aim of this paper is to explore how information shared by SMIs affects consumers' food tasting intentions. To achieve this, it integrates the IAM and TAM, in conjunction with trust and EWOM.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper utilized a convenience sampling technique, employing a survey instrument to gather data online. The questionnaire was distributed across the social media pages of food bloggers from September 11 to November 30, 2023. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS and AMOS.

Findings

We developed a research framework that integrates IAM, TAM, Trust, and EWOM variables to assess how information shared by SMIs influence consumers' intentions to explore new food tastes. The model demonstrated enhanced predictive and explanatory capabilities.

Research limitations/implications

This study enriches the existing literature on information adoption and technology acceptance by advancing our understanding of how SMIs influence consumers’ food tasting intentions. Additionally, it aids SMIs in comprehending their role in endorsing new food products and restaurants, fostering trust and reliability among their followers. This study enables consumers to make more informed decisions about trying new food products or dining establishments, empowering them to evaluate influencer recommendations critically.

Originality/value

This study uniquely focuses on the influence of information shared by SMIs on consumers' intentions to taste new foods. While SMIs have been extensively studied in various contexts, such as fashion, beauty, and travel, this research offers a fresh perspective on understanding their impact on consumer behavior within the food industry.

Abstract

Purpose

This systematic literature review (SLR) seeks to thoroughly investigate and synthesize existing research primarily focused on the role and impact of livestreaming technologies in the events industry. The review aims to uncover key trends and strategies associated with the integration of livestreaming in several event settings, including conferences, concerts and virtual events.

Design/methodology/approach

Employing a systematic approach, this review involves a meticulous search of the Scopus database and relevant literature using a predefined search string. The search is tailored to capture studies that specifically address livestreaming, with a focus on events such as conferences, concerts and other public gatherings.

Findings

This SLR uncovers the findings related to various aspects of livestreaming at events. Key areas of interest include the strategies employed by event organizers, audience experiences, technical requirements, monetization models, social media integration and the suitability of livestreaming in different event categories. By synthesizing the findings from the selected studies, this review provides an integrated framework of how livestreaming technologies impact event management, engagement and overall audience satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications

While striving for comprehensiveness, this SLR acknowledges potential limitations inherent in the available literature. Variability in research methodologies, publication biases and evolving technologies may introduce limitations. Additionally, the scope is limited to English-language publications within the specified subject areas. These limitations will be transparently discussed to guide future studies and promote the efficient utilization of livestreaming technologies in the events industry.

Originality/value

The originality of this SLR hinges on its thorough examination of the current state of knowledge on livestreaming technologies in events. The identification of trends and strategies will offer valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners, guiding future research directions and informing strategic decision-making in the dynamic field of event management.
