Evaluating the Perception of E-Learners on the Efficiency and Reliability of MU ELearning Platform

ABSTRACT Kampala International University (KIU) has recently joined the league of institutions offering online education to learner. In an organizational setting, whenever a new technology is deployed, it is necessary to evaluate its success so as to understand if it’s been embraced by the users. It is therefore, necessary to evaluate the perception of c-learners from the “quality” point of view as they continue to use the platform for their learning. The aim of this study is to evaluate F-Learners perception on the efficiency and reliability of the KIU eLearning platform. In this study, the researcher adapted descriptive, descriptive correlation and cross sectional design using a survey questionnaire and data was collected from a sample size of 80 respondents. A 4—point Likert scale was used to measure the perception of c-learners which ranges from ‘lStrongly Disagree” to “4Strongly Agree”. A purposive sampling technique was used to select respondents from the target population of 100 students who have registered and enrolled on the KIU e-learning platform. Findings of the study revealed that, there is a moderately significant relationship between System Quality on Continual Usage Intention which indicates that the quality of the platform can affect student to continue to use the system. The more they perceive the system to be of quality, the more they are likely to use it. Also, the findings indicate that, the c-learners are satisfied with the quality of the course content provided on the platform.
