A REVIEW OF THE ACCEPTANCE ON LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS) USING UNIFIED THEORY ACCEPTANCE AND USE OF TECHNOLOGY (UTAUT)

Technology advancement in the world nowadays has dramatically evolved, especially in education trends. LMS has become increasingly popular in higher education institutions because it provides a centralised platform for course materials, assignments, and communication. However, despite the benefits that LMS can offer, its adoption by students is only sometimes guaranteed. Conversely, The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) is a popular model for understanding and forecasting whether people will adopt a technology. This review looked at how UTAUT has been applied to examine the acceptance of Learning Management Systems (LMS). It was found that the four main factors in the UTAUT model, “Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions”, can all be important predictors of whether users will accept and use an LMS. The UTAUT model provides a relevant framework for discerning key drivers of user acceptance of learning technologies like LMS. The review found that the relative importance of these constructs can vary depending on the context of use. For example, social influence may be more critical in the context of mandatory LMS adoption. At the same time, facilitating conditions may be essential in voluntary LMS adoption. This review shows things that affect whether people use a new LMS. LMS setup should address user concerns and expectations. Thinking about these user factors can lead to better LMS success. Developers and implementers of LMSs should consider the four key constructs of UTAUT when designing and implementing their systems. Hence, it can increase users’ likelihood of accepting and using the LMS. The findings of this review provide a valuable overview of the factors that influence the acceptance of LMS.
