Abstract :
This study addresses the question, "What are the significant factors that have influenced the adoption of Moodle by staff in a Maori tertiary institution?" To help answer this principal question an additional six sub-questions were used to provide a deeper understanding and clarity for the adoption. A mixed research methodology was used comprising of an online survey and a series of interviews. Factors were identified that were influencing the adoption of Moodle. This study concludes that even though Moodle has been used by the organization since 2005 there is still some way to go in providing solutions to the following issues such as training, encouragement and support from management, traditional verses non-traditional and maintenance of online resources.
