Although learning management
systems (LMS) have been widely adopted by higher educational institutions in
many countries, they are considered an emerging technology in Saudi Arabia.
Furthermore, research has demonstrated that the students’ use of them is not
always satisfactory. This quantitative study investigated the factors that
affect the students use of LMS in higher education by extending the
technology acceptance model (TAM) and adapting eight external variables.
Based on the probability multi-stage cluster sampling technique, online
surveys were sent by email to 2000 students registered in three public
universities in Saudi Arabia. 851 responses were submitted by participants,
and 833 responses were used for data analysis. Using Partial Least Squares
Structural Equations Modeling (PLS-SEM), the results revealed that perceived
ease of use is affected by six factors (content quality, system navigation,
ease of access, system interactivity, instructional assessment and system
learnability). The findings confirmed that perceived usefulness has five
determinants (content quality, learning support, system interactivity,
instructional assessment and perceived ease of use). This research is
relevant to researchers, decision makers and e-learning systems designers
working to enhance students’ use of e-learning systems in higher education,
in particular where there is not yet widespread adoption.

The Students’ Acceptance Of
Learning Management Systems In Saudi Arabia: A Case Study Of King Abdulaziz
University
|
ملخص المشاركة:
|
The Technology Acceptance Model
(TAM) has become one of the most widely-used models in understanding user
acceptance of technologies and has been employed in many empirical studies.
However, TAM has barely been used within the context of Saudi Arabia to understand
the students’ acceptance of learning management systems (LMS). This
quantitative study draws on the TAM to assess the acceptance of LMS
(Blackboard) at King Abdulaziz University (KAU) from the perspectives of
Saudi students. All participants were students at KAU during the 2016 Fall
semester from different disciplines and colleges. To ensure a sufficient
sample size, the survey was distributed to students both online and manually.
From 150 survey participants 142 responses were used for data analysis. The
findings demonstrate the original TAM hypotheses. Students’ actual use is
influenced by the behavioral intention that is affected by students’ attitude
and perceived usefulness. The perceived ease of use has an impact on the
students’ attitude and perceived usefulness alike. Student acceptance of
learning management technology has not yet been fully explored in the Saudi
context. This study’s findings offer some reassurance that LMS technology,
new to Saudi higher education, might play an important part in future
students’ learning.

The Influence Of Computer Self-Efficacy
And Subjective Norms On The Students’ Use Of Learning Management Systems At King
Abdulaziz University
|
ملخص المشاركة:

Technology acceptance model
(TAM) has been a standout amongst the most well-known models in understanding
the users’ acceptance of technologies. This study develops a model to predict
the factors that influence the use of learning management systems (LMS) among
higher educational students in Saudi Arabia by applying the TAM model and two
psychological determinants: computer self-efficacy and subjective norms. The
Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique was
employed to examine the proposed model. The findings confirm the TAM model
within the context of Saudi Arabia. Further, the students’ perceived ease of
use is positively influenced by computer self-efficacy, while the students’
perceived usefulness is positively affected by subjective norm. As scholars
have overlooked using TAM to assess LMS in the context of Saudi Arabia, the
study may give a guide to future work to adopt additional factors that impact
the students’ utilization of LMS.

The Moderating Effect Of Education
And Experience On The Use Of Learning Management Systems
|
ملخص المشاركة:
|
Based on the technology
acceptance model, this research investigated the variables that affect
students’ use of LMS in Saudi public universities. The study also examined
the moderating impact of education and experience on the students’ behavior
toward LMS. 851 online surveys were submitted by students at three Saudi
universities, and 833 responses were used for data analysis. The collected
data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling
along with multigroup analysis. Amongst 40 paths, the results revealed that
education and experience moderated only four relationships in the proposed
model. Discussions, insights and implications for decision makers in Saudi
higher education are provided at the end of this paper.
