Abstract:

Institutions of higher learning are gradually adopting the learning management system as a fundamental tool for learning and education. This platform gives students more flexibility to learn and to interact with peers and lecturers. One of such learning management systems is Schoology. Schoology is a learning management system which is accessible for all. It is an interactive platform that makes it possible for students to take tests, submit assignments, establish, share contents and resources. However, despite the benefits of Schoology e-learning platform, it is not clear whether prospective learners are interested in using this platform; and therefore becomes important to examine determinants the make prospective learners to adopt Schoology. Schoology is a new technology that is not commonly used as a teaching platform in the ICT University. Nevertheless, undergraduates’ students at ICT University have used this platform to take some ICT courses and it is, therefore, necessary to examine their perceptions towards the use of this LMS in teaching ICT Courses in the ICT Department. This is a research in progress paper and the outcome of this study is expected to show the relationships amongst technology acceptance model (TAM) using multivariate analysis software (Smart PLS 3.0) in relation to adoption and acceptance of Schoology leaning management system.
