E-Learning Success Model in the Context of COVID-19 Pandemic in Higher Educational Institutions

Abstract

Nowadays, the extensive use of e-learning in higher educational institutions in many countries leads us to apprehend the reality, precisely the key success/failure factors of the implementation, of e-learning systems in these institutions. This motivation becomes more and more important, inevitable, and urgent, especially for institutions that have heavily adopted e-learning systems under exceptional conditions without any prior planning, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. From this perspective, this research aimed to provide an e-learning success model in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic by assessing e-learning effectiveness and by investigating the key antecedents of e-learning effectiveness. The literature review led to the identification of four main factors influencing e-learning effectiveness: The e-learning system, e-learning readiness, interactivity, and resistance to change. These four variables constituted the antecedents of an effective e-learning system, which was tested in a KSA context. A structured survey, including a sample of 1202 students from Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University was used to examine the linkages among our proposed model. The model, with a total of ten direct and six indirect relationships, was tested by using structural equation modeling. The research findings indicate that effective e-learning is supported by the interactions between four factors: the e-learning system, e-learning readiness, interactivity, and resistance to change.

“…It was determined that e-learning was successful and investigated major antecedents of e-learning success in the COVID-19 pandemic ( Elshaer and Sobaih, 2022 ; Jaoua et al, 2022 ). The major motivators for the likely continuance of videoconferencing as a supplement to face-to-face tutorials at Spanish institutions ( Infante-Moro et al, 2021 ).…”

“…In order to gain meaningful learning through e-learning, student motivation is crucial (Asana et al, 2021). The team's quality system, information quality, service quality, interactivity, and resistance to change were the five pillars of the e-learning challenge (Jaoua et al, 2022).…”

“…On the other hand, essential components for the E-learning system's operation include student engagement and preparation for electronic learning. These factors can help the E-learning system function more effectively (Jaoua et al, 2022). This is referred to be a combination of inperson learning, but with online information, it is crucial that teachers receive training in cutting-edge technologies (Chong et al, 2021).…”
