Understanding the Continued Usage Intention of Educators Toward an e-Learning System

The tremendous development of technologies over recent decades has offered many e-learning systems to faculty educators to support teaching. The advantage of using such .systems in connection with on-site courses is that it increases flexibility in teaching/leaming by making resources available online. However; there is little empirical evidence to suggest which factors shape educators 'continuance intention to use such systems. This study builds a model, based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology to identity the factors. The model was tested among university educators who use the popular e-learning system, Moodle. The results suggest that the continuance intention is driven by perceived usefulness and access. Perceived ease of use, perceived behavioral control, compatibility, and social influence do not have a significant direct impact on continuance intention, although perceived ease of fuse and compatibility significantly affect perceived usefulness. Taken together; the core determinants of the continuance intention explained around 70% of the total variance in intention in this study.
