Abstract

Online distance learning is one approach for delivering teaching and learning that is becoming popular nowadays. The student's acceptance of online distance learning should be measured because it indicates the successful teaching and learning delivery level. For this purpose, we need an evaluated and validated instrument to measure students' acceptance of online distance learning. To achieve this, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Nomology Analysis are used to evaluate and validate students' acceptance of online distance learning instruments. The EFA of this study on 32 items resulted in the construction of seven dimensions: Self-Productivity, Content Productivity, Effort Expectancy, External Influence, Personal Innovativeness, Self-Management Learning and Behavioural Intention. The correlation analysis indicates that all the bivariate relationships among the components were significantly correlated with at least a 95% confidence level. This result shows that the instrument can be considered valid and reliable and used to measure students' acceptance of online distance learning.
