Blended Learning (BL) has been implemented by lecturers in higher educations for promoting effective pedagogical practices. However, intention to use and actual usage of BL by lecturers in higher education seems to be a major setback for successful BL implementation. Therefore, this study developed a model to examine the factors that influences lec...

Researchers have shown that knowledge acquisition and sharing have considerably influenced the acceptance of various technologies. However, there is a scarce of knowledge on how these two factors affect the acceptance of Mobile learning (M-learning). Thus, this research is believed to be one of the few attempts that aims to understand the impact of...

IT support services are the crucial part in daily business operation services in any organization. Special attention is needed, especially in managing users or client satisfaction when using the IT services to address the user’s problem or request IT hardware issues. Service quality (SQ) dimension is used to measure the effectiveness in delivering...

The importance of Blended Learning (BL) in institutions is momentarily increasing at all educational levels and particularly for higher education. However, relatively little research addresses students, lecturers, and administrators’ readiness towards BL adoption. Although, such study would support higher education to strategically assess current s...

Cloud-Based E-learning is indeed the new paradigm shift in the information and communication technology. As much as the field is still in its infancy stage, various educational institutions have adopted the cloud-based E-learning around the world at all the levels of education. Cloud-based E-learning has shown significant progress and success among...

Technological innovations such as Blended Learning (BL) are rapidly changing teaching and learning in higher education, where BL integrates face to face teaching with web based learning. Thus, as polices related to BL increases, it is required to explore the theoretical foundation of BL studies and how BL were adopted and implemented in relation to...

Abstract Purpose-Blended learning (BL) has been increasing in popularity and demand and has developed as a common practice in institutions of higher learning. Therefore, this study develops a model to evaluate the critical predictors that determine students’ acceptance and deployment of BL in institutions of higher education based on the Theory of...

A vast amount of research has been devoted to examine the determinants influencing the acceptance of Mobile learning (M-learning). Nevertheless, little is known about studying the effect of knowledge management (KM) factors on M-learning acceptance. Therefore, the core objective of the present study is to develop a conceptual model by extending the...

There has been rapid development in Blended Learning (BL) diffusion and prior studies mainly focused on issues related to students and lecturers in improving teaching and learning outcomes, but very few studies focused on institution’s readiness and diffusion issues. Thus, there is need for institutional-based research to guide universities, colleg...

IT Policy IT Services Service Level Agreement (SLA) Service Level Agreement (SLA) is a contract between a service provider and different levels of users in the organization. SLA lays out the metrics by which a service is measured, as well as penalties should the expected service levels are not met. SLA reduces the amount of job schedule based on IT...

As the years progress there has been rapid growth in Blended Learning (BL) adoption, but only few research focused on adoption issues related to learners, academic staffs and management. Thus, research is needed to guide universities in strategically examining learners, academic staffs and management adoption of BL. Accordingly, this study develops...

The development of mobile learning (m-learning) applications is not a new research topic. However, the development of m-learning applications from the perspective of knowledge management (KM) processes is a new research trend that has never been tackled in the existing literature. The main objective of this study is to develop an m-learning applica...

Knowledge Management (KM) processes play a significant role in the implementation of various Information Systems (IS). Several review studies were carried out to afford a better understanding of the current research trend of KM processes. However, this issue still needs to be examined from other perspectives. It is observed that previous research n...

Many Higher Education Institutions are shifting to Cloud-Based E-Iearning (CBEL) due to its benefits. These benefits include reduced costs of accessing IT services, pooling of resources, scalability, and mobility as well as consumer satisfaction among others. However, some institutions especially in developing countries in general and Gulf Cooperat...

Recent flood event in Malaysia especially at the East Coast region of Peninsular Malaysia shows the importance of providing a comprehensive and effective disaster mitigation management which encompasses the involvement of government agencies, private organization and NGOs. The early warning and response model is an important element in the mitigati...

The partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) has become a key approach for validating the conceptual models across many disciplines in general, and the Information Systems (IS) in specific. This is guided through the assessment of the measurement and structural models. Several research articles were carried out to provide an ex...

Various review studies were conducted to provide valuable insights into the current research trend of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Nevertheless, this issue still needs to be investigated from further directions. It has been noticed that research overlooks the investigation of TAM with regard to Mobile learning (M-learning) studies from th...

The rapid growth of Internet and computing field results in several technological advantages. In the meanwhile, security challenges that emerge along with the growth complicate the aspects of cloud based computing. Security is by now one of the most pressing concerns in Internet business where cloud computing lies in. Cloud-based services are evolv...

The purpose of this paper is to understand the importance, relevance and the need of implementing Cloud-Based E-Learning (CBEL) in Higher education institutions (HEIs) in Oman. The paper maintains its emphasis on addressing the effectiveness of the cloud based e-learning system and also takes into account the activities of comparing and contrasting...

It is highly important for the higher educational institutions to understand the factors that affect the students’ acceptance of Mobile Learning (M-learning) systems as a prior step to the implementation of such systems. From the M-learning perspective, the literature ignores some factors that could contribute to improve the knowledge acquisition,...

The wide spectrum use of mobile devices has brought numerous opportunities to develop and design Mobile Learning (M-learning) applications that will assist learners in their studies. From the M-learning perspective, in order to improve the learners' capabilities through the use of mobile devices, Knowledge Management (KM) processes (Knowledge Acqui...

Cloud computing refers to adopting advanced virtualized resources for high scalability that can be shared with end users. Utilization of this technology is expediting in the world to intensify the potential of cloud computing based on E-learning in higher education institutions. Due to various apparent reasons, some higher education institutions ar...

Currently, e-learning is becoming an option as it can save the cost of education, time, and more flexible in its implementation. The main problem that arises is how to create e-learning content that is interesting and really fit the needs of the users. One way that can be done to optimize the content of e-learning is to analyze the user behavior. T...
