Towards a Sustainable Adoption of E-Learning Systems: The Role of Self-Directed Learning

Aim/Purpose: This study seeks to investigate the factors that influence online students’ continued usage intention toward e-learning systems by presenting an extended model is based on Delone and McLean (2003) IS success (D&M ISS model). Background: The use of in this era has become a vital element delivering higher education. Learning via significant benefits support conventional learning. Thus, it crucial measure systems’ implementation. Methodology: was conducted with 590 undergraduate postgraduate students from three private universities Jordan, data gathered self-report questionnaire. Contribution: Theoretically, advances literature empirically examines modified version D&M including context-specific are drivers successful implementations systems. Findings: path analysis structural equation modelling confirms satisfaction their regarding system positively related service quality, information quality. Self-directed learning, however, negative effect intention. Furthermore, findings reveal both perceptions perceived academic performance. Recommendations for Practitioners: quality learning content format design recognized as fundamental success. instructors developers should provide reliable, accurate, up-to-date materials. directs designing simple useful functionalities embrace essential features enable perform required tasks effectively access share materials flexibly. current reveals self-directed (SDL) key barrier employment. It impact (SAT) (CUI). developing skills SDL deemed necessity. could be attained contemporary pedagogical curricula student-centered approach encourages acquire self-regulatory accountable environment supported tools (e.g., synchronous/asynchronous communication channels multimedia tools) effective interaction between students. Recommendation Researchers: does not role potential moderators might research model’s relationships. Future studies tackle such limitation examining moderating computer self-efficacy culture. Impact Society: depends only information, system, but also student Research: sample employed selected Jordan; consequently, results cannot generalized entire population Jordan. Further research, therefore, focus targeting larger scope public universities, which turn would enhance generalizability findings. In addition, cross-sectional using quantitative method self-reported survey gather data. future consider longitudinal employs mixed methods additional constructs insights adoption
