Purpose: This empirical study was carried out to examine predictors of perceived usefulness of the learning management system (LMS) from the viewpoint of distance learning students of Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) Islamabad. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a positivist paradigm and a correlation research design. The information…

Institutions of higher education possess large amounts of learning-related data in their student registers and learning management systems (LMS). This data can be mined to gain insights into study paths, study styles and possible bottlenecks on the study paths. In this study, we focused on creating a predictive model for study completion time…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of predictive video analytics in online courses in the literature. A systematic literature review was performed based on a hybrid search strategy that included both database searching and backward snowballing. In total, 77 related publications published between 2011 and April 2023 were…

The use of a learning management system (LMS) is believed to be significant for students' academic performance, but students' attitudes regarding its use are divided. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to apply a modified version of the technology acceptance model to determine the motivators for University of Professional Studies Accra…

Purpose: This study aims to investigate factors that could predict the continued usage of e-learning systems, such as the learning management systems (LMS) at a Technical University in Ghana using machine learning algorithms. Design/methodology/approach: The proposed model for this study adopted a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology…

Background/purpose: Widespread adoption of e-learning was triggered worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic and modern higher education institutions dedicated significant resources to the use of diverse e-learning systems. However, to maximize the benefits of these investments, it is crucial that the degree to which end-users accept and continue…

In online education, it is widely recognized that interaction and engagement have an impact on students' academic performance. While previous research has extensively explored interactions between students, instructors, and content, there has been limited exploration of course design elements that promote the fourth type of interaction:…

The problem of student dropout in higher education has gained significant attention within the Educational Data Mining research community over the years. Since student dropout is a major concern for the education community and policymakers, many research studies aim to evaluate and uncover profiles of students at-risk of dropping out, allowing…

This empirical study uses a random forest algorithm to examine the factors that influence learners' persistence in online learning at a prominent Korean institution. The data were collected from students who began their studies in Spring 2021, and encompassed a range of variables including individual attributes, academic engagement, academic…

This study intends to inspect the relationship between e-learner's Self Efficacy of Learning Management System (SELMS) usage and Motivational Regulation Strategies (MRSs) which are Interest Enhanced Strategies (IES) And Goal-Oriented Strategies (GOS). Moreover, the moderating impact of academic level was also investigated. A total of 119…

This paper examines whether and to what extent student engagement with the learning management system (LMS) Blackboard affects students' academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. We find strong evidence that higher student engagement with Blackboard is associated with better academic performance. We also find that the association between…

A mobile learning management system (mobile LMS) facilitates the interaction between lecturers and students to transfer knowledge flexibly. With the high possibility of universities adopting a mobile LMS into their learning systems, predicting student acceptance of mobile LMS is critical. Based on an extension of the unified theory of acceptance…

Instructors are steadily incorporating collaborative learning technology into their online classes to help promote effective learning strategies. A learning management system (LMS), such as Blackboard, offers their own collaborative technologies, but some instructors are turning to free and open source system (FOSS) to conduct these collaborative…

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the use of technology such as Moodle in course delivery to facilitate student engagement. This research explored how lecturers delivered courses through Moodle and how students perceived interaction with instructors, content, and peers via Moodle and the influence on student satisfaction. This mixed-method…

This predictive-causal study determined the factors affecting students' Behavioral Intention (BI) and Actual Use (AU) of Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) and Zoom for both synchronous and asynchronous classes in a private higher education institution in the Philippines adopting Technology Acceptance Mode (TAM). After surveying 496 students,…
