Factors Affecting E-Learning Adoption in Developing Countries–Empirical Evidence From Pakistan’s Higher Education Sector

The Influence of Computer Self-efficacy and Subjective Norms on the Students’ Use of Learning Management Systems at King Abdulaziz University

“…This meets the assumptions of TAM2 model [30] and TAM3 model [27]. The result is consistent with e-learning studies [29], [36], [50], [53] but not consistent with [22]. In line with [18], this indicates that subjective norm is the strongest predictor of perceived usefulness.…”

“…This meets the assumptions of TAM3 model [27] and Venkatesh's model [28]. Similar result was reached in other e-learning studies [22], [23], [26], [29], [51]. As hypothesized, students with higher computer self-efficacy are more likely to perceive LMS easy to use.…”

“…This might be attributed to the use of the rigorous PLS-SEM, more suitable for unobserved variables, indirect effects and causal models [41], [42]. Even though this is not the case in [26] and [51], the result is consistent with [22], [23], [25]. In [26], regression analysis technique was used for data analysis, whereas [51] was conducted in China.…”

“…It was concluded that 19 out of 22 (86%) researches indicated a positive influence between SN and PU and 4 out of 6 (67%) researches indicated a positive influence between SN and PEOU [18]. The influence of SN on PU of e-learning was demonstrated in [21], which contradicts with the results of [22]. In [36], it was concluded that SN affects PU of e-learning systems and does not affect PEOU.…”

Results Validation about the Adoption Model of Information and Communication Technologies Applied to the Technical University of Cotopaxi

“…In our research, there are several examples of LMS such as WebCT, Moodle, Black Board, Moodle, Whiteboard, Web Board, Web Course in a Box, Claroline, Net Campus, Phoenix Pathlore, Profe, Saba, Symposium, Angel, Sakai, and Moodle, among others. The researcher [33], propose to design a new TAM model specifically designed to explain the acceptance of students and teachers within higher education institutions by applying innovation technologies. The proposal will be created from the TAM model and expanded with constructors of other models, such as TRA, TPB, UTAUT, IDT or TAM3.…”
