Abstract :
Understanding learners’ behaviour, perceptions and influence in terms of learner performance
is crucial to predict the use of electronic learning systems. By integrating the
task-technology fit (TTF) model and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), this paper
investigates the online learning utilisation of Taiwanese students. This paper provides a
better understanding of individual, technological and social factors regarding online
learning system performance. A total of 870 students who were earlier introduced to
e-learning were surveyed after a period of exposure to the system. The results of the
research model were analysed using a structural equation modelling approach to verify
10 hypotheses; support was found for eight of them. This paper offers a new perspective
on the mechanisms through the TTF and TPB model constructs, which facilitates
e-learning learner performance and offers important implications for understanding
learner performance in online learning environments.
