The use of multimedia learning resource sharing (MLRS) in developing sharing knowledge at schools

Abstract

This study aimed to develop school community to share knowledge by using Multimedia Learning Resource Sharing (MLRS). MLRS was developed as a means for educators and learners across schools to share online based internet. To measure MLRS’s acceptance as a medium of sharing knowledge, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as a model of approach. This study tried to explore factors that were dominant, interrelated and influential to the level of MLRS’s acceptance in sharing knowledge. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. The present study revealed that user Content Management (CM) affected Perceived Ease of Use (PEoU), while Content management (CM) and PEoU affected the benefits of Perceived Usefulness (PU). PEoU and PU affected Intention to Use (ITU); and ITU affected Actual System Usage (ASU). In general, the presence of MLRS received a positive acceptance from users in developing sharing knowledge between Senior High schools in West Java.
