Abstract
There is an emergent need to examine teachers' acceptance of distance education through LMS during emergencies to leverage online teaching and learning to enhance teachers' future readiness for digital transformation in education. This study explores Saudi teachers' perceptions of Madrasati (national e-learning system). It investigates its ease of use, usefulness, behavioural intention to use the system, and its actual use in association with external factors from teachers' perspective to identify the platform's most supportive elements during remote online teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings from 197 participants show that teachers positively perceived Madrasati regarding the system's external variables, including content quality, teaching support, visual design, system navigation features, ease of access, system interactivity, and instructional assessment tools, and they positively perceived the system's learnability.
期刊介绍:
The mission of the International Journal of Online Pedagogy and Course Design (IJOPCD) is to provide a platform for the latest research, analysis, and development of online education, effective online teaching methods, and course design. IJOPCD covers the pedagogical design aspects of science education and computing education, as well as courses supported by educational technologies. Targeting academic researchers and educators who work in the field, this journal focuses on the importance of developments in online course design and teaching methods to improve teachers’ teaching and students’ learning. Researchers are encouraged to submit cross-disciplinary, high-quality syntheses that are interesting, beneficial, and apprehensible to all those interested in or teaching science and related disciplines. Topics to be discussed in this journal include (but are not limited to) the following: -Adoption of e-learning -Best practices in computing education -Best practices in science education -Blended learning -Computer-mediated communication -E-learning -Emerging technologies -Evaluation of learning technology systems -Evaluation of online learning effects -Learning management systems -Multimedia and interactive learning systems -Online course design -Online learners’ behavior -Pedagogy and teaching with technology -Virtual reality environments -Web-based teaching methods
