This study aims at finding out the main barriers preventing students in Jordan from using online learning from their perspective. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire was developed and the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were checked. A simple random sampling was used forming a sample of 400 students. The results indicate that the online learning infrastructure is an immense barrier that obstructs the utilization of online learning in Jerash University. Also, there are statistically significant differences in the barriers that faced students while they are using online learning based on gender and studying year variables in favor of female and students of first year respectively. Moreover, the results of the study revealed that there is an interaction between gender and teaching year variables. Finally, in light of the results, the study recommended that additional efforts from decision makers and teachers should be taken into consideration for the sake of online learning process improvement.

This research aimed at investigating the factors influencing instructor's intention to adopt e-learning by usingTechnology Acceptance Model in Jordanian universities. The paper takes a social and technical approach in its investigation by using a research theory based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to identify the factors that affect intention to adopt e-learning. The sample consisted of (320) instructors. They were drawn randomly from the population, by using proportional stratified random sample method. A questionnaire was develop to collect data. Validity and reliability of the tool were assured. Multiple regression Analysis was used to assess the relationships in the constructs. The findings indicated that the perceived usefulness (PU) has a significant influence on behavioral intention (BI) (P<0.01), perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) have significant influence on Attitude (AT)( P<0.01),but attitude (AT) has no significant impact on behavioral intention BI (P>0.01).The study also provides an indicator of instructors' acceptance of e-learning as well as identifying the important factors that would contribute to its successful use. The outcomes will enrich the understanding of instructor's acceptance of e-learning and will assist in its continuing implementation at Jordanian Universities.

“…The e-learning method is not new to higher education and has increasingly been seen as a necessary development (Alavi & Gallupe, 2003). The more recent fast advancement of information and communication technology networks, as well as multimedia is pushing instructors in the direction of adopting e-learning methods (Almarabeh 2014;Tsai, Tsai, & Lin 2015;Gündüz, Alemdağ, Yaşar & Erdem 2016). While the traditional form of education still dominates, technology is argued to be effective in facilitating learning and assessment (Lai, Luo, Zhang, Huang, & Rozelle 2015, Sinkovics, Haghirian, & Yu 2009.…”

“…For example, an empirical study conducted by Almarabeh (2014) found that students in higher education institutions are not only highly qualified and accepting users of e-learning systems but with the desire to utilize them in even more advanced manners. In support of this finding, Sinkovics, Haghirian, & Yu (2009) and Lai, Luo, Zhang, Huang, & Rozelle (2015) find empirical evidence which suggests that e-learning environment (i.e.…”
