Model to evaluate virtual learning environment among malaysian teachers

Abstract

The sophisticated improvement of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has sparked new inventions in teaching and learning approach. These positive technological advantages therefore inspired the Malaysian Ministry of Education (MOE) to invest in digitalizing the Malaysian schools, including the implementation of Frog Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). Despite this huge investment, the ratio of usage is relatively low, especially among the teachers. This evidence indicates that there is an urgent requirement to conduct a post-implementation evaluation to investigate the factors behind the issue. Therefore, this study is conducted to develop a conceptual model based on the updated DeLone and McLean IS Success Model to evaluate the Frog VLE success among Malaysian teachers. As the study is still in the early stage, this paper will present the initial investigation that leads to the development of the conceptual model, including background of the study, the objectives, literature review and research methodology that the study wishes to employ. Based on this conceptual model, 14 hypotheses have been proposed.
