Acceptance and Use of E-Learning Based on Cloud Computing: The Role of Consumer Innovativeness

Cloud computing and E-learning are the inevitable trend of computational science in general, and information systems and technologies in specific.However, there are not many studies on the adoption of cloud-based E-learning systems. Moreover, while there are many papers on information system adoption as well as customer innovativeness, the innovativeness and adoption in the same model seems to be rare in the literature. The study combines the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) and consumer innovativeness on the adoption of E-learning systems based on cloud computing. A survey was conducted among 282 cloud-based E-learning participants and analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that the adoption of cloud-based E-learning is influenced by performance expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, and habit. Interestingly, although innovativeness is not significant to use intention, it has a positive effect on E-learning usage which is relatively new in Vietnam

Proposed object-based e-learning framework embracing cloud computing

E-learning is continually evolved in the adaptation of emerging technologies and pedagogies, so does the development of learning objects. Object-based learning approach has been widely adopted in e-learning.The principle concern in the conventional e-learning models is the inflexibility of the e-learning content to assist the use and management of the learning sources which are highly distributed.Rigidity of e-learning content limits its reusability and shareability.Possessing the ability to deliver strong computing power and secure data storage as services, Cloud computing is a promising computing model to promote innovative changes and add notable values to e-learning landscape.The flexibility and on-demand access to a centralized shared pool of computing resources provided by Cloud computing enables high re-usability and share-ability, hence overcomes the principle concern in e-learning due to the rigidity of e-learning content.This paper describes the design of an object-based e-learning framework embracing Cloud computing.The proposed object-based e learning framework can be used to form a new education domain that shares the Cloud characteristics of elasticity, flexibility, efficiency and reliability.Principal to the framework design is the development of Cloud-based e-learning objects where learners have the flexibility to access, personalize and deploy them in e-learning environment.Cloud-based e-learning objects are highly adaptable, reusable and easy changeable, hence allowing them to be used dynamically with greater customizability and flexibility in e-learning.Adapting Cloud computing into object-based e-learning is believed to be able to create a breakthrough in future dynamic -e-learning development

Intention to adopt Cloud-based e-Learning in Nigerian Educational Institutions

Institutions of higher education must utilize innovative information and communication technologies for teaching in Nigeria. Thus, cloud-based e-Learning is essential to curtail educational challenges such as limited infrastructure, funds, and student-to-lecturer ratio. Recently, there has been widespread enthusiasm regarding Cloud computing for e-Learning; adopting and strategically utilizing these technologies remains a significant challenge for higher education institutions. Furthermore, there is a limited understanding of how cloud-based e-learning can transform Nigerian educational establishments. Cloud-based e-Learning systems' technological components have been the subject of numerous study studies, but little is known about how they operate from an organizational perspective. Accordingly, using the Technology-Organization-Environment theory, the goal of this study is to investigate the variables that influence the adoption of cloud-based e-learning. The findings of the research show that relative benefit and competing pressure have a big impact on whether cloud-based e-learning is adopted. However, compatibility, security, and top management commitment do not appear to be significant determinants. These findings will help Nigerian education institutions, the ministry of education, and practitioners to understand the critical factors for adopting this technology for improved education
