Information and Communication Technologies have influenced the landscape of education sector
by changing the way various education activities are being conducted. From the perspectives of
Tanzania, this paper provides an integrated model for measuring the impact of e-learning on
students’ achievements in universities. A Mixed method research methodology involving survey
questionnaires and interviews was employed in the collection of quantitative and qualitative data
respectively for building the integrated model. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate
the construct validity and internal reliability. Multiple regressions technique was used to analyse
the hypothesised relationships conceptualised in the research model. The model was built and
validated using structural equation modeling and Delphi technique respectively. Indicators such
as student engagement, student cognitive, performance expectancy, students’ control, student
satisfaction, continue using, student enjoyment, students’ self esteem, students’ confidence on e learning system have positive significance relationship with students’ achievement. The
integrated model has the potential to policy makers, universities and other stakeholder to
understand the impacts of e-learning after implementation in order to justify the total investment
based on that technology. The novelty of this research lies in the extension of the findings in
literature with new integrated variables including frequency use and intention to use e-learning. |
