  • Investigation of e-learning system acceptance using UTAUT
    Šumak, Boštjan ...
    This paper demonstrates the results of our research activities in which we validated state-of-the-art theory of technology acceptance (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology-UTAUT) in the ... context of a specific e-learning system-Moodle. This research was performed because there is little research reported in the area of e-learning acceptance and there are only a few validations of UTAUT in the context of e-learning. Research objectives were achieved with an online survey in which we included Likert-based statements related to UTAUT concepts and concepts specific to e-learning systems. The survey was performed on a random sample of undergraduate students, who were asked about their level of agreement or disagreement related to their acceptance of Moodle. The answers from 235 students were primarily analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) which demonstratedthe validity of concepts and the level of causal relationships between concepts. We found that performance expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions have a direct effect on studentsć attitudes towards using Moodle, where performance expectancy was the strongest determinant of student attitudes. Studentsć intention for using Moodle is caused by social influence and facilitating conditions. Behavioural intentions were shown to bea strong indicator for the actual use of Moodle. The implications and limitations of the present study are also discussed.
