Learning management systems (LMS's) are a necessary tool and well suited as earning tools and activities in higher education. However, each institute has a different LMS tool that allows to users (management, instructors and students) to use it for a daily activity. This article investigates the main factors for the acceptance of LMS at Jordanian universities. Is also presents a new LMS model for Jordanian context called Learning Management System Model (JLMS). This approach is used to identify important factors that could or do affect the acceptance of using an LMS at Jordanian universities.
Academic higher education has adopted the use of internet technologies such as web-based digital learning systems. Digital learning management systems (DLMSs) have widely been utilized by many universities as a tool that fosters learning activities due to its prevailing unique environment. DLMS is a software-driven tool with different features; hence, different universities adopt different DLMSs that meet their expectations in terms of helping their administrators, instructors, and students learning the processes. The research aims to examine collected qualitative data through a case study methodology coupled with semi-structured interviews as the data collection method. The interviews are analyzed deeply based on the research findings to gain insights on how the implementation of the digital learning management systems influences the learning perspective of instructors as far as universities and the higher education sector is concerned.
Internet technologies are recently being more utilised in the field of higher education in distance digital learning systems. Digital learning management systems (DLMSs) are an important and necessary educational tool for learning activities. The universities are using the digital LMS (DLMS) tools that are unique to their environment. Different universities have different DLMS tools that are software driven and allow the users (management, instructors, and students) to use them for regular tasks. This research discusses the qualitative data collected using the case study methodology. In this research, case study design was selected for the qualitative methodology, and semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection method. The case study is based in a deanship of a university implementing a digital learning management system in Jordan. The research provides an analysis of the interviews to gain insights into students' perspectives regarding the factors influencing the implementation of the digital learning management system in the higher education sector.
Digital learning management systems (DLMSs) or IT based tools are not only used for business and daily activities, but also for university education, where it is used to manage different academic activities. The universities are using the Digital LMS (DLMS) tools that are unique to their environment. Different universities have different DLMS tools that are software-driven and allow the users (management, instructors, and students) to use them for regular tasks. This research discusses the qualitative data collected using the case study methodology. In this research, case study design was selected for the qualitative methodology and semi-structured interviews were employed as the data collection method. The case study is based in a deanship of a university implementing a digital learning management system in Jordan. The research provides an analysis of the interviews to gain insights into instructors (staff) perspectives regarding the factors influencing the implementation of the digital learning management system at higher education sector.
Digital learning technologies have changed the face of the higher education sector and will continue to do so. The universities are using the digital LMS innovation (DLMS) tools that are unique to their environment. Different universities have different DLMS tools that are software driven and allow the users (management, instructors, and students) to use them for regular tasks. This study aims to investigate the acceptance and use of a DLMS at Jordanian universities. It also aims to examine the relationships among users (students and instructors), IT infrastructure, Jordanian culture, perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and acceptance of a DLMS. The study focuses on conviction of the users to use the digital system in a way to simplify their regular tasks. Findings are reported from data that were collected from 326 DLMS users.
