E-learning Policies and E-learning Acceptance and Usage

Abstract

E-learning is identified in many studies as an enabler of education. A lot of benefits and opportunities have been anticipated in the adoption of e-learning. However despite this, its benefits have not been fully realized and e-learning has not been fully utilized as advertised. This study focuses on the individual users’ acceptance and usage of e- learning and influence of e-learning policies on e-learning acceptance and usage. A selected sample of universities in Uganda was used to carry out this study. Several challenges were identified from which possible requirements where obtained. The science methodology design was used. Evaluation results indicated that where e-learning policies existed, acceptance and usage of e-learning systems were greatly
improved.
