e-learning, Learning management system, Information systems, PreferabilityAbstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that affect the preference of e-learning systems used as a basic or supportive tool in both open education and formal education. The data set used in this study was obtained from a questionnaire applied to randomly selected university students who took courses with the e-learning system. The questionnaire was applied to 561 people and descriptive statistics were calculated based on the obtained data. For modeling and analyzing the relationships of the factors that directly and indirectly affect the preference of e-learning systems, Structural Equation Modeling was established. As a result of the analysis, the variables that directly or indirectly affect the preferability of the e-learning systems were determined. In addition to the positive effect of the information system infrastructure on other variables in the model, the mediation effect of the learning management system on the information system infrastructure and preferability was revealed.
