Assessing the Acceptability of Adaptive E-Learning System

Abstract

AEL based on students ’ knowledge-level contribute many benefits to its users. The study on such system is vital as currently, most AEL only consider student’s preferences, interest, and browsing behaviour when investigating student’s behaviour for personalized services. Further, compared to previous studies on AEL system, user’s acceptance towards this type of system, however, has not been assessed and understood thoroughly. In order to get more experience about the acceptance of AEL system that tailored learning content based on students ’ knowledge-level, a survey consisting of 314 students have been conducted. Based on TAM, this study proposed a conceptual model of AEL system acceptance. The result of regression analysis shows a positive indication on the acceptance of such system among students with the adaptability feature affect student’s intention to use the system. The study provides insight into the usefulness of an AEL system based on students ’ knowledge-level. Moreover, it is an important step towards a better understanding on the user’s intention to use the system in the future as it gives a more intensive view of the AEL system users.
