Teaching from home: Exploring lecturers' perceptions and attitudes towards moodle and google meet integration

ABSTRACT

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education systems, it becomes important to understand and analyze the perception of e-learning management systems. One essential learning management system (LMS) is Moodle. It is being recently implemented at the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (UOWA), Iraq and integrated with Google Meet to serve as a complete e-learning environment. This chapter uses technology acceptance model (TAM) to help the university decision-makers in predicting the behavioural intention to use Moodle. The core TAM model and other external variables like perceived enjoyment and perceived self-efficacy were examined. A quantitative research approach was implemented to perform the survey with a questionnaire to obtain the required data from 164 lecturers at the university. The data analysis processes reveal that lecturers see Moodle as easy to use and enjoyable, and they are able to master its capability easily. The obtained results have confirmed the TAM model's importance in understanding and predicting the acceptance of Moodle by UOWA lecturers. © 2023, IGI Global.
