Assessment of factors for e-learning: an empirical investigation

Abstract

Purpose The growth of internet, cloud technology, and mobile usage in the present scenario has spread in every aspect of human life. The usage of e-learning (electronic-learning) has been stretching wings in every sector and creating many opportunities. The education market has significantly developed over the past few years and e-learning has emerged as a major contributor toward the development of the education sector. The purpose of this paper is to study the perception of students of different universities in Uttar Pradesh and National Capital Region (India) toward e-learning usage. Design/methodology/approach With the help of exploratory factor analysis followed by confirmatory factor analysis, factors of e-learning were explored through a survey of 298 students involved in the e-learning process. Findings Six factors were explored and validated. These six factors are: supportive factors, system quality, learners’ perspective, instructor perspective, information quality, and service quality. Practical implications Policymakers and future researchers need to focus on the facilitation of e-learning in rural and urban areas of India. Originality/value Results will be useful in the implementation of e-learning applications.

E-Learning Adoption Based on Technology Adoption Theory in Nigeria

“…This process is how it can be easier and easier. [7] agree with e-learning students that they "introduce in the user team technology into projects designed to support." Although the use of e-learning in universities and major universities in Nigeria has grown, the question has been raised as learning was not clear to researchers [8].…”

“…E-learning, which is an advanced education, is a means of education [4]. Currently, the use of educational education is an important factor around the world [6]; [7]. E-learning methods include Internetbased and medium-sized technology used to enhance multimedia news and other computer tools.…”

Literature Review of Factors Affecting E-Learning Adoption in Universities

“…[8] claims that a lot of EL classes are dead on arrival to get a result of an incapacity to spend exactly the most acceptable applications, place connectivity, or even maintain security. Procedure security and privacy can confine the adoption of EL must maybe perhaps not be able precisely in the universities [7]; [10] and [13]. This is sometimes done by applying security systems such as security, hardware and applications.…”

“…Moreover, having a brand-new point,, digital learning may result in student immunity, since they can diminish their skill and capability within routine occupation activities [6]. Thus, this student, who lost their power and authority, will try to withstand the digital learning approach as it's thought a threat to their own standing, skill, and capacities [7]; [8].…”

“…The developed countries showed a significant progress in e-learning adoption and acceptance. Although e-learning systems offer great flexibility in learning, teaching and communication, they also present numerous challenges that would significantly affect their continuous use [7]. The basic measure of successful implementation in e-learning systems depends on the adoption, acceptance and continued use [8].…”
