“…The study found information quality to be the most important variable that influenced the usability of the e-learning system across all attribute categories. The results match those observed in earlier studies that the information quality dimension plays a significant role in e-learning system usability evaluation (Bringula & Basa, 2011;Hasan, 2014;Noorulhasan, Muhammad, Sanober, Rafik, & Shah, 2017;Zaharias & Poylymenakou, 2009). Hasan (2014) found that content was perceived as the most important quality from a students' perspective.…”

“…Furthermore, Thuseethan et al (2014) revealed that visual inconsistencies in an e-learning system design resulted in chaos and lack of interaction from the students' perspective. Elsewhere, also in contrast to this study, in the Saudi Arabian context, the e-learning system visual design was found to be a critical success factor for implementation and the use of an e-learning system with user-friendly items being the most significant factor for the successful use of elearning (Noorulhasan et al, 2017). Even though students regarded visual design as the fourth most important category, the differences are marginal compared with learnability and navigation dimensions (17.88, 18.21 and 18.68 respectively).…”

“…It was also shown that e-learning system information content significantly affected website usability (Bringula & Basa, 2011). In Saudi higher education, e-learning system information clarity and currency were found to be significant factors for the successful use of an e-learning system in Saudi Arabia (Noorulhasan et al, 2017). Therefore, e-learning system information relevance, completeness, accuracy, coverage and timeliness are all critical characteristics for the successful use of an e-learning system.…”

This study considers the interaction between an e-learning system, the Blackboard system, and the students who use it in Saudi Arabia. While previous work exists, there is limited consideration of the assessment of the preferences of e-learning system usability variables based on students' perspectives, especially in developing countries such as Saudi Arabia. This paper attempts to fill the gap by investigating the relative importance of the design criteria developed for e-learning system usability evaluation from the students' perspective in Saudi tertiary education. Based on reviewed literature, a set of usability principles was developed that have had an influence in the students' learning process and use of the e-learning system. The list includes system navigation, system learnability, visual design, information quality, instructional assessment and system interactivity. An exploratory study was carried out to identify the most important usability design characteristics from a student's perspective and then evaluate the overall usability of the current e-learning system, based on this subset. A quantitative approach was adopted to weigh usability design characteristics, based on 181 learners' perceptions. The sample consists of undergraduates who are users of a web-based e-learning system in a university in Saudi Arabia. The research instrument was tested for construct validity and reliability. The analysed results have shown that information quality is the most important dimension followed by the navigation of the e-learning system. The study has also revealed that the system learnability and visual design came third and fourth in order of importance of e-learning system usability assessment. Finally, the least important design categories that influenced the e-learning system usability assessment were instructional assessment and system interactivity. The empirical results of this study may help to provide insights for designers and evaluators leading to a more effective approach to improve the usability and uptake of the e-learning system.

“…Previous research has shown that critical success factors (CSFs) play a key role in the successful implementation of e-learning. Besides, it's also been shown that essential factors of different dimensions can have different effects on the e-learning system [5][6][7]. Thus, it is important that the analysis and resource allocation of the E-learning CSFs be speci cally examined and that a proposed framework of the success factors of E-learning is presented.…”

Learning through the Web or training via e-learning is rising exponentially and is gradually preferred by conventional ways of education and training. This massive change is directly related to digital computer technological advancement. The transformation driven by innovation in computer technology has enhanced the reach of e-learning and education, making the process of sharing knowledge easy, clear, and efficient. The E-learning system relies on various success factors from several viewpoints, such as framework, organisational alignment, instructor, and student support. This paper aims to identify the critical barriers to the Internet of Thing implementation in e-learning and to establish a relational relationship between identified barriers using the Interpretive Structural Modelling approach. This paper has established some primary barriers that are useful for Internet of Things implementation in E-learning by research scholars and industrial practitioners. For the study of the driving force and dependency power of the E-learning barrier, Interpretive Structural Modelling methodology was used to classify interrelationships between barriers for improved understanding and relationships between these barriers, and Management Cross Impact Multiplications were conducted to estimate the magnitude of these relationships. Applied to classification analysis, which is used for analysing the driving power and dependence power of E-learning barriers.

“…Online teaching is not just about altering the medium. It is also about course design (Anggrainingsih et al 2018;Noorulhasan et al 2017), technical skill to use learning management system/LMS (El-Gawad and Woollard, 2019), and understanding of how learners learn in an online environment (Alqahtani and Rajkhan, 2020;Bani-Salameh and Fakher, 2015;Martin et al, 2019). Instructors in online learning need to change their roles in teaching from "teacher-centered to student-centered, low-interactor to high-interactor, and low-initiator to highinitiator" (Beck and Ferdig, 2008).…”

COVID-19 has forced many people to adjust to the new situation. The Indonesian education system has been changed drastically because of this pandemic. Although online learning differs from traditional class meetings, most academic institutions switch directly to online without necessary adjustments. As a result, many students experience zoom fatigue. The same thing also happened in the writer's university. Thus, adjustment toward the teaching-learning strategies is needed to avoid this exhaustion. In this research, the writer applied asynchronous learning in one of the film courses. The asynchronous was applied in ten meetings uploaded on the university's online platform. At the end of the semester, a survey was conducted to evaluate the method. This research is aimed to explore other possible methods in teaching film. It is necessary because teaching film requires a lot of physical and social interaction, which is impossible during this era.Pengajaran Film Pada Era Kenormalan Baru di Prodi Film Universitas Multimedia Nusantara ABSTRAK COVID-19 telah membuat sistem pendidikan Indonesia berubah secara drastis. Sebagian besar institusi akademik beralih langsung ke pembelajaran daring, tanpa membuat penyesuaian dengan media daring yang memiliki karakteristik sangat berbeda dari pembelajaran tatap muka di kelas. Akibatnya, banyak siswa yang mengalami kelelahan karena tatap muka daring. Hal yang sama juga terjadi di universitas penulis. Oleh karena itu, penyesuaian terhadap strategi belajarmengajar diperlukan untuk menghindari kelelahan ini. Dalam penelitian ini penulis menerapkan pembelajaran asinkron di salah satu mata kuliah film. Pembelajaran asinkron diterapkan pada sepuluh pertemuan yang diunggah ke media daring milik universitas. Pada akhir semester dilakukan survei untuk mengevaluasi metode tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi metode lain yang mungkin digunakan dalam pengajaran film. Hal ini diperlukan karena pengajaran film membutuhkan banyak interaksi fisik dan sosial, yang tidak mungkin dilakukan pada era ini.
