Abstract

The objectives of this research are as follows: 1) To study the factors influencing students' perceptions of benefits, ease of use, satisfaction, and intention to use the online learning management system at the institution of higher education. 2) To investigate satisfaction as a mediating variable between perceived benefits and intention to use the online learning management system among students at the institution of higher education. 3) To examine satisfaction as a mediating variable between perceived ease of use and intention to use the online learning management system among students at the institution of higher education. The study population comprises 500 students from the institution of higher education. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency distribution, percentage, mean, and standard deviation. Inferential statistical analysis used frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and structural equation modeling techniques. The study findings reveal that perceived benefits do not significantly influence students' satisfaction with online learning. Perceived benefits have no statistically significant effect on student's intention to use the online learning management system at the institution of higher education. However, perceived ease of use significantly affects students' satisfaction with online learning at a significance level of 0.05.
