The influence of learning value on learning management system use

Abstract

In this study the perceived value construct of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) is investigated in the context of a learning management system (LMS), in which the construct is redefined from its original price value conceptualization. It was found that many researchers simply ignore the price value construct when applying the UTAUT2 model in technology use studies in the educational context. This study extends the UTAUT2 framework by integrating the learning value construct and provides fresh insight about predictors of students' intentions towards LMS and its use. A quantitative research approach was employed by utilizing a closed-ended questionnaire to collect data from Malaysian university students who were users of LMS. Probability proportional stratified sampling was employed to select an appropriate sample. The results indicated a good measurement and structural model fit and suggested the significant influence of performance expectancy, social influence and learning value on students' intention towards LMS and also confirmed the influence of facilitating conditions and behavioral intention on LMS use. The extended UTAUT2 framework helps in understanding students' perceived value in the LMS context. Furthermore, this study will help institutions to consider the factors for successful implementation of an LMS in an academic setting.

Validation of the UTAUT Model: Re-Considering Non-Linear Relationships of Exogeneous Variables in Higher Education Technology Acceptance Research

“…It is however important to add that PE was only significant at an error of 10% but insignificant to BI at p<0.05, which is consistent with results by Jairak et al, (2009), while the effect of Social influence being insignificant to BI, confirmed the findings of Nassuora (2012). These results disagree with that of Venkatesh et al, (2003), Khechine et al, (2014) and Ain et al, (2015). …”

UTAUT’S performance consistency: Empirical evidence from a library management system

“…The reliability and consistency of the UTAUT model is found to be applicable, reliable, accurate and in uniformity with the original UTAUT (Venkatesh et. al 2013), and other studies on general acceptance and usage of technology (Anderson and Schwager 2004;Louho, Kallioja and Oittinen 2006;Kripanont 2007;Schaper and Pervan 2007;Ain, Kaur and Waheed 2015). These results have an important implication on the theoretical foundation of the unified theory and strongly supports the conjecture of a unified view of technology acceptance.…”

“…Waheed et al (2015) and Ain et al (2015) reported a significant direct effect of PE on behavioural intention to use a technology. It is assumed that librarian belief that RFID-LMS will be useful in their tasks leads to the justification of examining PE as a determinant in this study.…”

“…In studies on acceptance and use, the UTAUT model constructs are modified to ensure the adaptability of the constructs to suit the user performance in using technology based application. Since its inception, the UTAUT has been extensively adapted and adopted in investigating the general acceptance and usage of ICT in different environment or cultures (Anderson and Schwager 2004;Louho, Kallioja and Oittinen 2006;Kripanont 2007;Schaper and Pervan 2007;Al-Qeisi 2009;Tibenderana and Ogao 2009;Zhou, Lu and Wang 2010;Ain, Kaur and Waheed 2015).…”

Factors Affecting MOOC Usage by Students in Selected Ghanaian Universities

“…Several studies have also confirmed the influence of behavioral intention on usage behavior; Ain et al [40], Dečman [21], Chiu & Wang [41], Pynoo et al [23], and Wang et al [23],…”
