COVID-19 and E-Learning Adoption in Higher Education: A Multi-Group Analysis and Recommendation
Transition to e-learning has become crucial in the last two years, partially forced by the current pandemic. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine an integrated and comprehensive moderation-cum-mediation model that focuses on user intention to adopt e-learning. Self-efficacy, interaction, and e-learning contents were taken as the independent constructs. User satisfaction and user intention were taken as dependent constructs. Enjoyment and choice were taken as moderators. “Choice” was explicitly used in this study as a moderator to test whether the transition was by force or choice. Five hundred and sixty-two teachers and students from two countries, India and Saudi Arabia, were considered for this study. The findings indicate that self-efficacy and interaction augment user satisfaction and user intention. User satisfaction enhances user intention. It also mediates the relationship between self-efficacy, interaction, and user intention. Choice moderates the relationship between interaction and user intention. Enjoyment moderates the relationship between e-learning contents and user intention. This study is unique as it provides a multi-group analysis that compares nationality, gender, and the type of respondents in a multi-national context. All the stakeholders of e-learning, the teachers, the students, the policymakers, and the platforms, may find the results of this study particularly useful.
