Satisfaction of Learning Management System Usage in a Blended Learning Environment among Undergraduate Students

Abstract

Learning management system (LMS) helps higher learning institutions to manage their instructional resources and complement their traditional way of teaching. Although LMS survives via students' and instructors' use, its adoption is initiated by the students' satisfaction. Thus, the objectives of this study are to examine the level of LMS satisfaction among university students in a blended learning program and to investigate the factors that may impact their satisfaction. A quantitative research approach via a questionnaire was used in the study. The subjects consisted of undergraduate students in a public university in Yemen. A total of 174 participants were surveyed using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression were employed. The results show that the participants have a high level of satisfaction of LMS usage in a blended learning environment. Also the findings indicated that Instructor Attitude, Classmates Attitude, Course Quality, Management Support, and System Quality are significant predictors to students' satisfaction of LMS. Therefore, this study has identified these significant factors in planning, designing and implementing a blended learning to promote and improve students' learning satisfaction.

Students’ Evaluation of Faculty-Prepared Instructional Modules: Inferences for Instructional Materials Review and Revision

“…This result was confirmed by Ghazal et al (2018) study, which revealed that both students' perceived ease of using an alternative learning modality and its perceived usefulness had a significant positive relationship with student satisfaction. With this, HEIs need to consider the relationships between the factors of acceptance and joy in implementing a modular learning modality.…”

The Effect of Knowledge Sharing, Attitude, and Satisfaction on Novice University Students’ Online Learning Achievement

“…As technology adoption advances, students might find it easier to adapt to the learning process. Ghazal et al (2018) stated that there was a significant relationship between technology acceptance and learner satisfaction with regard to the use of learning environments. The temporal and spatial autonomy advantages of e-learning also positively affected learners' perception of acceptance and satisfaction (Al-Hawari & Mouakket, 2010).…”

“…Student satisfaction was favorably influenced by students' perceptions of the online learning environment as being useful, or favorable in terms of efficiency. Various studies found perceived usefulness to be an important predictor of learner satisfaction in the e-learning environment (Ghazal et al, 2018;Jo et al, 2018;Lwoga, 2016;Park & Kim, 2012;Saxena et al, 2021). As the system's functionality grows, so would the learners' productivity, learning performance, and control over the system and the learning process, all of which contribute indirectly to learning satisfaction (Lwoga, 2016).…”

Factors Influencing the Satisfaction of Second Language Learners of Chinese in Online Courses

“…Research on satisfaction in online learning has recently focused on several specific areas. For example, some researchers explored undergraduate students' satisfaction with utilizing learning management systems in a blended learning setting [30]. Liu [31] investigated strategies to enhance satisfaction among Chinese college students in the context of online English teaching.…”
