Cloud computing is considered as a new innovation which essentially influences teaching and learning forms in educational sector. Utilizing this innovation not as it were upgrades the quality of teaching and learning, but too diminishes overhead consumption of instructive educate. In spite of the beneficial points of interest of cloud computing, in any case, its adoption is still distant from full potential, especially in university settings. However, there are not many studies on the adoption of cloud-based E-learning systems. Thus, this research is aimed to develop a theoretical research model for the adoption of cloud computing in universities of Malaysia. For this purpose, TAM model is used to represent the research framework. A survey was conducted among 265 cloud-based E-learning participants and analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that the adoption of cloud-based E-learning is influenced by need, perceived usefulness, although inattentiveness is not significant to use intention to adopt cloud based e-learning.

<p class="Abstract">Nowadays, the advancement of technology makes the life easier and convenience. Smart home is one of the technology provide a better life environment for the residents. The purpose of this study is to make a systematic and empirical study on the factors and model that influencing the intention to adopt smart home in Malaysia. Clear interface, consistency, attractiveness, information accuracy, information completeness, perceived security and perceived privacy used as the variables to investigate the intention to adopt the smart home. The quantitative method was used in this research. The sample size of this research is 102 respondents. The questionnaire was used for data collection. From the statistical analysis, the result verify that clear interface, consistency, attractiveness, information accuracy, perceived security and perceived privacy have positive impact on the Malaysian householder’s intention to adopt smart home. Besides that, the result from clustering analysis shows that, the younger generation or higher education respondents have higher intention to adopt smart home system. By referring this, the practitioner can refer and focus on those variables to develop the smart home that suitable for Malaysian.</p>
Business-to-Business (B2B) electronic commerce plays a tremendous role in nurturing the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in developed and developing countries. However, the growth of B2B e-commerce in developing nations remains at the early adoption stage. The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors that influence B2B e-commerce adoption in SMEs in a developing country. The current study employs the questionnaire survey technique to gather information from 245 manufacturing SMEs in Jordan. It uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the different factors that affect the intention to adopt or continue using B2B e-commerce. The study reveals that compatibility and outsourcing IT support have significant effects on the intention to continue using B2B e-commerce in Jordanian manufacturing SMEs. The implications of the findings are discussed.
The advancement in internet-based learning technologies together with the national agenda towards globalized online education in Malaysia have prompted the learning management system (LMS) to become an important channel for institutions of higher education to effectively deliver education to students. Since user resistance has been known to be a stumbling block in the implementation of the LMS, it is crucial for the institutions to acknowledge that comprehensive adoption by users relies heavily on user acceptance. Moreover, since some institutions may have even made it compulsory for students to use the LMS, user acceptance of the LMS should be studied in the sense that using LMS is likable and pleasurable. Although the features of the technical capability of the LMS are important, it has been asserted that having the feeling of personal convenience when using the LMS is even more important to the users. With the amount of financial effort and manpower involved in implementing the LMS by institutions in Malaysia towards fulfilling the online learning agenda of the nation, it is important to study whether the convenience factor as an individual impact can play the partial role of influencing Malaysian students’ satisfaction of the LMS which would in turn influence them to use the LMS. Based on the Information System Success Model by DeLone and McLean, this study establishes vital process factors regarding the LMS usage among university students in Malaysia. Hence, in this study, LMS usage by students is measured by the degree of students’ acceptance of the LMS. An online survey has been done to collect data from 212 students of two large public universities in Malaysia. Structural equation modeling has been used to test the relationships in the conceptual model. The results of data analysis using the PLS-SEM technique employed in the study have indicated that student satisfaction is positively influenced by factors of information quality, system quality, service quality and convenience. LMS usage has been found to be positively impacted by student satisfaction while student satisfaction has been found to have significant mediation effect. The findings from this study can be utilized by institutions committed towards having successful implementation of the LMS. In enhancing LMS usage by the students, the institutions of higher education can consider focusing on the necessary steps towards increasing student satisfaction. Meanwhile, to increase student satisfaction, apart from improving the information quality, system quality and service quality, institutions should also seriously consider promoting the LMS to the students by highlighting the individual impact of the LMS in terms of convenience.
