Acceptance of Learning Management System Among Undergraduate Computer Science Students Using Extended Technology Acceptance Model (ETAM)

Abstract

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is playing a major role in today’s teaching learning process. The internet has rapidly changed the way of learning from desktop to online based learning. Many higher educational institutes have introduced the Learning Management System (LMS) to facilitate the face to face learning process. There are so many LMSs available in the market and MOODLE is one of the most emerging open source LMS that is used in educational sector developed by an Australian Scientist, Martin Dougiamas. The extended technology acceptance model proposes that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude toward usage, behavioural intention to use, self-efficacy and access control predict usage of technology and the intent to use and usage of LMS for users. This study’s aim focuses on the acceptance of LMS among undergraduate Computer Science student using Extended Technology Acceptance Model (ETAM).
