Continuance Intention of E-Learning: New Model of Technology Adoption

Abstract

The use of e-learning as a learning method in universities is increasing along with the user's need for distance learning. There are advantages of e-learning, especially with regard to operational costs, but what needs to be known is technology support and user efficacy. Examining the problems in e-learning, this study aims to examine the continuance intention of e-learning through the support of compatibility, self-efficacy, and perceived ease of use. Survey research was conducted on students who had implemented e-learning, and distributed online questionnaires with quantitatively determined answers. The data from the respondents were processed through SmartPLS and the research model was tested based on the research hypothesis design. The results of the study found that compatibility technology and student self-efficacy supported students' perceived ease of use. It is directly stated that compatibility and self-efficacy are also able to increase students' continuance intention. Another finding is that students' perceived ease of use has a positive impact on continuance intention. Reviewing the research model, it can be said that perceived ease of use is able to mediate between compatibility and self-efficacy with students' continuance intentions in adapting to e-learning. This study focuses on the online behavior of students, the model found can be input for universities in implementing the concept of distance learning through online learning.
