“…The COVID-19 pandemic urges universities in Indonesia to accelerate the adjustment of the learning process using alternative methods.The application of e-learning cannot be avoided from situations and conditions during a pandemic (Moorhouse, 2020). Even though the application of elearning has been well optimized, there are several factors that will become obstacles so that the application of e-learning becomes ineffective as a distance learning process (Chan & Ngai, 2012).Human resources and the availability of information technology are the main factors for the successful implementation of e-learning (Smith & Mitry, 2008;Xiangqian & Fuqing, 2012). In addition, the level of difficulty of the course is another determining factor for the success of online learning (Halawi et al, 2009).…”

Pandemic COVID-19 has taken place throughout the world and has changed the whole structure of life including the fields of business education and accounting. This study was designed to analyze various factors that cause accounting understanding in the pandemic COVID-19. Some of these factors are emotional intelligence, availability of technological facilities, and implementation of e learning. The study was conducted during the pandemic COVID-19 period, namely in April and May 2020 by distributing questionnaires to accounting students of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo East Java Indonesia, amounting to 194 as a research sample. Based on the results of the study, Emotional Intelligence and E-Learning Implementation affect Accounting Understanding. However, the availability of information technology partially has no effect on the understanding of its accounting. With the results of this study will have implications for various policies related to learning in business and accounting during the pandemic COVID-19, especially on the availability of information technology and implementation of e learning.

“…Several studies have described the adoption process of various LMSs within different contexts (Arpaci, 2017;Benson & Palaskas, 2006;Chan & Ngai, 2012;Fındık-Coşkunçay et al, 2018;Lwoga, 2014;Mkhize et al, 2016;Rhode et al, 2017;Rucker & Downey, 2016;Samarawickrema & Stacey, 2007;Walker & Lindner, 2015), identifying a variety of reasons connected to Rogers' (2003) diffusion of innovation theory that adopters embrace an innovation. This study has focused on the Texas A&M University and Monash University contexts, two higher education institutions using a variation of the Blackboard LMS educational technology innovation with faculty and students.…”

“…Antecedents to the adoption of new information technology system practices, such as LMSs, include, but are not limited to, perceived advantages and user characteristics (Arpaci, 2017;Chan & Ngai, 2012;Fındık-Coşkunçay et al, 2018;Lwoga, 2014;Monett & Elkina, 2015;Rogers, 2003;Rucker & Downey, 2016;Walker & Linder, 2015), social pressure (Benson & Palaskas, 2006;Flanagin, 2000;Frank et al, 2004;Samarawickrema & Stacey, 2007;Walker & Linder, 2015), and organizational and individual readiness (Chan & Ngai, 2012;Liu, 2005;Samarawickrema & Stacey, 2007;Walker and Lindner, 2015). Perceived advantages, or relative advantages as referred to by Rogers (2013), were described in both Texas A&M University and Monash University as key to the adoption process (Benson & Palaskas, 2006;Samarawickrema & Stacey, 2007;Walker & Linder, 2015).…”

Social capital and the diffusion of learning management systems: a case study

The diffusion and adoption process of a learning management system (LMS) at higher education institutes faces several obstacles; some of which are unique to contexts while others are shared experiences. This diffusion case study compares the adoption process of the LMS Blackboard at two universities, Texas A&M University and Monash University in Australia, investigating the factors which impacted the adoption of the innovation at each context as well as the extent to which social capital influenced the diffusion process. The study specifically examined the different adopters involved, the objections raised, the barriers encountered, and the significant factors either resulting in the success or the failure of the innovation, employing a social capital-infused theoretical framework of diffusion within organizations outlined by Frank, Zhao, and Borman (Sociol Educ 77:148–171, 2004). Primary and secondary data were analyzed and examined from three peer-reviewed, empirical articles for comparison within the study.Findings highlighted strong alignment with Rogers’ (Diffusion of innovations, 2003) diffusion of innovations theory as well as the importance of social capital maintained by Frank and colleagues (Sociol Educ 77:148–171, 2004). Though describing different adoption processes and factors, each context supported the universal idea behind diffusion theory that members of a social system communicate an innovation through social channels over time and that innovators and early adopters play a vital role in this process (Rogers, Diffusion of innovations, 2003). As higher education institutes advance further into the twenty-first century and adopt more innovations within their learning frameworks and systems, this diffusion case study stresses the importance of understanding diffusion theory, having an in-depth knowledge of the stakeholders involved in the adoption process, and creating and implementing a meticulous diffusion plan to ensure a successful diffusion and adoption process.
