Abstract EN
To enhance instruction in higher education, many universities in the Middle East have chosen to introduce learning management systems (LMS) to their institutions.
However, this new educational technology is not being used at its full potential and faces resistance from faculty members.
To investigate this phenomenon, we conducted an empirical research study to uncover factors influencing faculty members’ acceptance of LMS.
Thus, in the Fall semester of 2014, Information Technology faculty members were surveyed to better understand their perceptions of the incorporation of LMS into their courses.
The results showed that personal factors such as motivation, load anxiety, and organizational support play important roles in the perception of the usefulness of LMS among IT faculty members.
These findings suggest adding these constructs in order to extend the Technology acceptance model (TAM) for LMS acceptance, which can help stakeholders of the university to implement the use of this system.
This may assist in planning and evaluating the use of e-learning.
