Technological aspects of e-learning system in Malaysian context

Abstract

Advancement of technology has made it possible to facilitate the delivery of education through an e-learning system almost anywhere and anytime beyond a physical space. To achieve learners' satisfaction and increase acceptance of e-learning among students, an investigation of the technological aspects of e-learning system is urgently needed. The purpose of this study was to identify the most important aspects of an e-learning system that may influence users' perceived usefulness of the e-learning system in Malaysian context. A pilot study was conducted on 100 engineering students at a local university. The findings revealed that four variables namely ease of access, interface design, system quality and internet quality were the most important factors affecting the satisfaction of the e-learning system.
