The adoption of an e-learning system using information systems success model: a case study of Jazan University

Abstract

Background The e-learning system has gained a phenomenal significance than ever before in the present COVID-19 crisis. The E-learning delivery mechanisms have evolved to enhanced levels facilitating the education delivery with greater penetration and access to mass student population worldwide. Nevertheless, there is still scope to conduct further research in order to innovate and improve higher quality delivery mechanism using the state-of-the-art information and communication technologies (ICT) available today. In the present pandemic crisis all the stakeholders in the higher education system, i.e., the governments, institutions, and the students expect seamless and efficient content delivery via e-learning platforms. This study proposes the adoption of the e-learning system by the integration of the model proposed by Delon and Mcclean “Information System Success Model” in Jazan University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and further attempts to identify the factors affecting E-learning applications' success among the students. Methods The data were gathered from 568 respondents. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 (SPSS v.26.0) was used for the data analysis and one-way ANOVA is applied to test the hypothesis. Result The overall results of this study allude to the fact that there is a significant relationship between Information system Success Model factors and the adoption of e-learning systems. The research results indicated that the information system success model has a strong associating cost-benefit value towards the adoption of e-learning systems across the Jazan University that may be further expanded to the other Saudi universities.

Acceptance of e-learning in higher education: The role of task-technology fit with the information systems success model

“…Therefore, understanding and managing the interactions between those dimensions is essential. Numerous academics then proposed some changes to this paradigm [ 69 ]. As a result, [ 70 ] revised their old model with the ISSM in 2003, as shown in Fig.…”

Adoption of E-learning systems: An integration of ISSM and constructivism theories in higher education

“…Therefore, it is indispensable to study the interrelationships among those dimensions and control them. Subsequently, numerous scholars suggested some reforms to this model [ 42 , 48 ]. Consequently, in Ref.…”

“…An e-learning system is instead characterized as a kind of information system (IS) based on Internet technology that offers the student an infinite number of independent and adaptable teaching and learning opportunities [ 38 , 40 , 41 ]. The learning processes have been significantly simplified by this technology-based solution [ 42 , 43 ].…”

Factors influencing the elderly’s behavioural intention to use smart home technologies in Saudi Arabia

“…In addition, recent studies demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic and the social distancing guidelines have restricted social activities and impacted older adults [ 27 ]. Smart home technology provides communication devices to help the elderly easily contact their families and friends such as visual communication systems and capturing facial expressions [ 19 , 33 ]. Furthermore, enhancing the relationships with others and allowing follow-up the social activities which increase the self-esteem of these elderly people.…”

“…Coughlan et al [ 63 ] proved that technology awareness is a relevant predictor of SHTs adoption. Hence, companies should take more efforts to increase the level of SHT adoption among elderly people [ 33 , 64 ]. Technology awareness reduces the technological reluctance in people, in a way to increase their intention to use a new technology [ 65 ] As such, elderly people who have the basic knowledge about the benefits of SHTs and guidance on how these smart technologies work are less reluctant to adopt SHTs [ 66 ].…”
