From traditional to tech-savvy: An empirical investigation of students' actual use of LMS in Saudi universities

The primary objective of this research endeavor is to comprehensively comprehend the impact of identified research factors on students' intentions to utilize learning management systems (LMS) in Saudi Arabian universities. In order to achieve this objective, the study has incorporated two prominent motivational models, namely the DeLone and McLean Model, and the technology acceptance model (TAM). The hypothesized relationships were succinctly depicted and experimentally validated through a sample of 224 students from Saudi Arabian universities. The findings of the study reveal significant correlations among all the proposed hypotheses. The research model employed in this project demonstrates that system quality, information quality, service quality, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, and perceived ease of use exert direct influence on university students' intentions to employ LMS. Moreover, the research model highlights that the intention to use LMS significantly impacts actual usage behavior. By developing an innovative and integrated model for gauging students' genuine individual intentions to use LMS, this research paper makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature.& COPY; 2023 The Authors.
