The Impact of E-Learning on Academic Performance: Preliminary Examination of King Khalid University
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Progressive Education and Development - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The study assessed the impact of electronic learning on academic performance in Saudi Arabia. Precisely, we evaluated the influence of web-based learning on academic staff at the King Khalid University utilizing a sample of 163 respondents as our unit of analyses. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to evaluate the impact of the exogenous variables on the endogenous variables. Furthermore, SEM was used to test the hypothesized model. The results indicate that our hypothesized model reasonably fitted the data collected and five of the nine hypotheses were refuted. The study confirmed that acceptance for online teaching (AFOT), Technical competency (TC) and synchronous (SYNC) lectures have indirect influence on performance of academic staff (PERF_ACAD_STAFF). Additionally, acceptance for online teaching (AFOT) and Technical competency (TC) have direct impact on performance of academic staff (PERF_ACAD_STAFF). We concluded that our empirical model presented in figure 3 should guide KKU in designing its E-learning initiatives. This is so because it will enable KKU students to achieve similar learning outcomes that are comparable to traditional classroom format.
