Technology Adoption in Education-Based Business Services

Abstract

The objectives of this study are two folds. Firstly is to identify the advantages and disadvantages factors of electronic learning’s adoption. Secondly is to measure the influence of innovation adoption components toward users’ attitude in using electronic learning. A mixed method of study was carried out in response to the research’s objectives. The qualitative approach was conducted by means of interviewing 25 participants of users to identify e-learning advantages and disadvantages. The quantitative approach was used to test the hypotheses. A questionnaire was distributed to 313 e-learning system users. The results show that the three advantages and disadvantages of e-learning adoption factors were formed. SEM-Smart PLS was used to test the hypothetical relationships. The results indicate that three dimensions of innovation diffusion significantly influenced the attitude toward e-learning, while two dimensions were not significant. The findings suggest that education-based business services should use the advantages factors and influential dimensions to promote their teaching-learning services delivery and eliminate weaknesses and insignificant dimensions.

Universities’ Capabilities and Effective Implementation of E-Learning in Public Universities in Kampala City, Uganda

“…Nonetheless, the finding to the effect that experimentation negatively and insignificantly influenced e-learning implementation was contrary to the findings of previous scholars. For example, Al-Rahmi et al ( 2019), Kusdibyo et al (2019) and Ndongfack (2021) indicated that trialability (experimentation) had a strong impact on students' behavioural intention to use the e-learning system. Relatedly, Cao et al (2012) indicated that e-learning experimentation promoted the intrinsic motivation, learning quality, ability to resolve ill-structured problems and creative thinking ability of the students, thus enhancing e-learning.…”

“…There are several studies (Al-Rahmi et al, 2019;Cao et al, 2012;Daouk & Aldalaien, 2019;Kusdibyo et al, 2019;Lang et al, 2017;Ndongfack, 2021;Park et al, 2018;Pinho et al, 2021) that have examined the importance of experimentation in the implementation of e-learning. While the studies above show that scholars have made significant efforts to relate experimentation and e-learning implementation, contextual and empirical gaps emerged.…”

“…While the studies above show that scholars have made significant efforts to relate experimentation and e-learning implementation, contextual and empirical gaps emerged. Except for the study by Ndongfack (2021) in Cameroon, the studies were skewed to the Asian (Al-Rahmi et al, 2019;Cao et al, 2012;Daouk & Aldalaien, 2019;Kusdibyo et al, 2019) and Western world (Vidal & Gómez, 2015;Lang et al, 2017;Park et al, 2018;Pinho et al, 2021) contexts with higher ICT levels than those of African countries. On the other hand, Daouk and Aldalaien (2019) and Park et al (2018) came up findings contrary to those of other scholars indicating that experimentation insignificantly predicted e-learning implementation, suggesting that the importance of experimentation in e-learning implementation is not certain.…”

The Impact of the Economic Corridor on Economic Stability: A Double Mediating Role of Environmental Sustainability and Sustainable Development Under the Exceptional Circumstances of COVID-19

“…Boosted economies of various developed countries significantly influence countries’ projects with the eminent significance of elements ( Khan et al, 2016 ). Where the economies have been boosted from the projects with international importance, the countries could positively spend all possible amenities that the government retains for its public ( Kusdibyo et al, 2019 ).…”
