The Adoption of Learning Management System: A Case Study of Schoology and Edmodo

Abstract

E-learning focuses on education transformation in terms of teaching and learning process using electronic means to create innovation and value to the institution. This study focuses on e-learning methods in teaching delivery using tools called Edmodo and Schoology. Edmodo and Schoology courses have been conducted among community college instructors to provide an alternative for teaching delivery and improve the process of course delivery. However, the adoption and acceptance of e-learning among instructors and students on Edmodo and Schoology are still lacking. This study is conducted to identify factors that contribute to the adoption of e-learning as a teaching and learning tool. The research model adopts the Structural Model for determining the factors of adoption tools in teaching and learning. A survey was conducted with an IT student at Kuala Langat Community College (KKKL). The findings reveal that perceived usefulness, social influence, facilitating condition, and community identification significantly contribute to the e-learning adoption. This study also determines the limitation and challenges of adopting e-learning which can be improved for future recommendations in the adoption of e-learning at a technical institution such as Kuala Langat Community College.
