Abstract
High quality education could be achieved through an e-learning system as it increases the educational information accessibility, service availability and accuracy when compared to a conventional face-to-face teaching-learning approach. However, user acceptance is one of the key essentials for adoption and success of e-learning system. Many studies revealed that use of D2L application is one of the best tool in the adoption of teaching and learning methodologies and the effectiveness of this application has gained a demand within the last few years. This paper investigates the feasibility of applying UTAUT model on Desire2Learn (D2L) e-learning system in KSA. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of D2L (e-learning) system based on students acceptance. Questionaire method was employed to accomplish this study. Based on the (UTAUT) model the impact of trust on the adoption of e-learning systems’ services from students’ perception was studied. Feedback was collected from 213 students to carry out the study. The results of this study indicates that the services offered by D2L System has significant weightage on teaching-learning process in Saudi Arabia from the student perspective.
Highlights
E-learning has attracted major attention from researchers globally
The findings reveal that Performance Expectancy (PE) construct in the e-learning system positively predicted behavioral intention (BI) construct (0.34, p < .001) supporting H1
This study examined the applicability of an UTAUT model for predicting the Saudi student’s intention to adopt the services offered by D2L elearning system
Summary
It is obvious that most of teachers and students are Internet users. Teaching-learning professionals and developers in government and private organizations are contributing their best efforts to improve the effectiveness of their e-learning system. The youth of the country believes that the web based teaching-learning is more successful than old conventional teaching i.e. chalk and duster methods etc. Numerous academic institutions around the world have implemented and adopted the currently available interactive e-learning systems and its services. Educational institutions intent to enhance their teaching-learning methodologies in order to provide the best services to their students and teachers. The process and operations of teaching-learning services are improved by using an e-learning system that enhances the information sharing among the students and teachers.
