Abstract:
During the recent biggest improvement of drgitalization, e-leaming methods have
become one of the most influential phenomena at university education system. Elearning adoption intention has proved able to shift educational circumstances from the
traditional face-to-face teaching environment to a flexible and sharable type of
education. Hence, this study focuses on the factors influencing e-earning adoption
intention with the mediating role of Students' attitude. Thus, the study has four
objectives. The first objective to identifu the levels of factors influencing e-leaming
(instructor quality, student interaction, students' satisfaction and course delivery),
students' attitude and intention to use e-learning, second objective to identifi' the
relationships among factors influencing e-leaming, students' attifude and intention to
use e-learning, and hnal objective is to identiff whether students' attitude mediates the
relationship between e-learning influencing and intention to use e-learning among the
undergraduate students in Eastern University, Sri Lanka. Th6 quantitative study
conducted based on primary data which were collected among 372 undergraduate
students by using online questionnaire, five-point Likert scale was assigned to measure
the variables. In this study, the statistical tools thai used to analyze the levels of
variables are mean and SD values, while to present model of this study found that,
students' attitude partially mediates the rr;lationship between factors influencing eleaming and intention to use e-leaming. Moreover, according to the results relationships
were measured by Pearson coefficients and linear regressions for further mediation
analyses. And, the result shows significant positive associations among all the
variables, by denoting a positive relationship between factors influencing e-learning
and intention to use e-learning too. Consequently, these research findings hav'e
provided some useful insight and feedback to educators and policy makers to improve
and understanding of undergraduate student's e-learning adoption intention.
