Abstract

This study is conducted to assess the impact of using E-learning on students’ learning outcomes through combining models of technology acceptance model (TAM) and an information system success model (D&M model) basing on surveyed data from 294 students using E-learning system in Can Tho university. The main method used to evaluate this impact is structural equation model analysis method (SEM). The empirical results showed that perceived learning outcome is statistically influenced by three factors including learning assistance, community building assistance and perceived motivation. Of which, the community building assistance factor was found to play a strong role of students’ perceived learning outcome. Therefore, building solutions to develop of perceived motivation and community building assistance of the system in order to improve E-learning usage in Can Tho university should be paid attention in the coming time.
Keywords: E-learning systems, learning outcomes, D&M model, technology acceptance model
