Abbad, M. M. and Jaber, F. N. (2014) Evaluating e-learning systems: an empirical investigation on students' perception in higher education area. International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning, 9 (4). pp. 27-34. ISSN 1863-0383 doi: 10.3991/ijet.v9i4.3480

Abstract/Summary

In search of better, traditional learning universities have expanded their ways to deliver knowledge and integrate cost effective e-learning systems. Universities’ use of information and communication technologies has grown tremendously over the last decade. To ensure efficient use of the e-learning system, the Arab Open University (AOU) in Bahrain was the first to use e-learning system there, aimed to evaluate the good and bad practices, detect errors and determine areas for further improvements in usage. This study critically evaluated the students’ perception of the elearning system in Bahrain and recommended changes to improve students’ e-learning usage. Results of the study indicated that, in general, students have favourable perceptions toward using the e-learning system. This study has shown that technology acceptance is the most variable, factor that contributes to students’ perception and satisfaction of the e-learning system.
