“…This finding indicates that the organizational support including management, training as well as the availability of computer and internet connection affect the intention of using e-Learning. The result is consistent with the results of a study which was conducted by (Macharia & Nyakwende, 2010). The research results proved empirically by a multiple regression analysis, which shows that organizational support and availability of ICT influence the desire to adopt a learning management system (e-Learning).…”

At present, through the help of the internet, an increasing number of higher education institutions worldwide encourages faculty and students to adopt e-Learning in spite of the many barriers still exists in its implementation. This study presents how organizational factors and ease of use influence perceived usefulness and intention to use e-Learning. For this purpose, three hundred and ninety four samples collected from students of seven higher institutions in Southeast Sulawesi of Indonesia were surveyed with a questionnaire to validate the proposed framework through their own perceived behaviors. The result of the analysis using structural equation modeling of SmartPLS 2.0 shows that organizational culture, and perceived ease of use is positively related to both Perceived Usefulness and Intention to Use e-Learning. In addition, Organizational Support shows a significant effect on Intention to Use e-Learning, but a weak effect on Perceived Usefulness of e-Learning.

“…This is consistent with results from Pardamean and Susanto (2012) and Ambali and Bakar, (2014) and Šumak et al (2010). Earlier studies by Macharia and Nyakwende (2010) indicate the important role that vicechancellors as role models play in faculty member's decisions to use LMS for e-learning. This was later supported by Chen, Shang, Yu Hou, and Humaour (2012) who emphasized that if information system use is supported by leaders of institutions, it elicits a positive feeling from users to use it.…”

Over the years, The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) has served many researchers in unravelling technology acceptance intentions. What has become a chasm in the literature has been the seeming exclusion of non-linear relationships of UTAUT exogeneous variables (Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence and Facilitating Conditions) in model formation and the overall determination of construct predictive relationships. Secondly, there is a dearth in technology acceptance research in distance-based higher education settings. In an attempt to bridge these gaps, this study adopted the UTAUT model and utilized the Partial Least Squares approach to evaluate a combined linear and non-linear relationships based UTAUT model. The survey design was employed in which a questionnaire was used to obtain data from a sample of 267 respondents (tutors) from a distance-based higher education milieu with a countrywide distribution. Results obtained indicated that non-linear relationships exist between exogeneous factors to better explain constructs' behaviour in the model. A new relationship between facilitating condition and social influence was also discovered. The study thus concluded that in technology acceptance research, there is the need to include non-linear relationships in the UTAUT model to augment the predictive effects and explanations of the constructs' relationships. It further recommended a comparative analysis between a proposed comprehensive UTAUT model with non-linear relationships and moderators to the original UTAUT model for further empirical analysis. This is to compare results in terms of coefficient of determination (R 2 ) and predictive relevance (Q 2 ).

“…Park, Lee and Cheong (2008) argued that the BI is very important factor that affects students to use the Internet-Based Course Management System (IBCMS). In relation, Macharia and Nyakwende (2010) confirm the importance of measuring BI in the using and adoption of ICT in the universities. BI, however, is considered a very important factor to the study because its ultimate station to accept or reject the e-learning system in the educational system among students.…”

Electronic learning (e-learning) is considered in a beginning stage in the developing nations such as Arab world especially in the field of higher education system. Jordan as one of the developing nation though appreciates the importance of universities and their role in achieving an economic prosperity through the growth of human resources; unfortunately, the adoption of e-learning is quite low among the students in the Jordanian universities. This study therefore, is concerned with the improvement of educational process through the adoption of e-learning tools among the students in the Jordanian higher education institutions. The main purpose of this study is to examine the potential prominent factors related to the adoption and usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the Jordanian public universities among the students. The main challenge of the study is to provide such an understanding on the e-learning usage by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, and Decomposed Theory of Planned Behaviour (DTPB). A self-administrated survey was conducted on 350 of students selected from public universities in Jordan. A total of 253 participants (72%) have responded, and series of data analyses of variables measurement for reliability and validity test of predictors were performed. The results of the analysis, however, contribute a new model which is considered as a novel model in such studies. The findings show that Attitude towards Technology (ATT), have positively affected the Behavioural Intention (BI) to use technologies in the higher educational system among students. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between students' perception of technology characteristics and their ATT using the e-learning technologies in the higher education system.
