By adopting the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study was aimed at investigating the determinants of electronic learning or technology enhanced learning (TEL) adoption by adopting a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research designs. We analyzed the data using Structured Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate the strength of the hypothesized relationships, among the constructs, which include the seven (7) TOE factors mentioned above and eLearning adoption as the dependent variable. The findings of this study implied that the TOE can be used to analyze eLearning adoption in Universities in Uganda.

By adopting the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, this study was aimed at investigating the determinants of the e-learning adoption in HIL where eight TOE factors were examined. The study adopted a quantitative approach, a descriptive research and cross-sectional survey for the research design. A questionnaire was developed based on the eight identified TOE study constructs and administered to a population of 5438 students in three Faculties of Makerere University Business School (MUBS). In regard to data analysis, factor analysis and assessment of reliability and validity of the measurements items was done. Finally, a multiple regression analysis was carried out to evaluate the relationship between the predictor variables and e-learning adoption. The findings of this study imply that the TOE...

This paper examined the relationship between IT governance steering committee, IT competence and IT governance performance in Ugandan public Universities. The study adopted a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research designs. Regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The results indicate quantitative evidence of significant positive relationships between IT governance steering committee, IT competence and IT governance performance. Findings also reveal that IT governance steering committee and IT competence are significant predictors of IT governance performance. The results also suggest that IT competence has a stronger influence on IT governance performance than IT governance steering committee influence. Discussions on the findings, implication and lim...

The aim of this research was to ascertain the determinants of employee adoption and use of HRIS in the Ugandan local governments’ services. By adopting the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework, we categorised the possible adoption factors. We adopted a quantitative approach, a descriptive and cross-sectional research design and analyzed data using Partial Least Squares Structured Equation Modeling (PLSSEM) to evaluate the strength of the hypothesized relationships among the constructs from the TOE factors and HRIS adoption. In our results, relative advantage; IT infrastructure; organisational compatibility; top management support and IT knowledge were found to have a significant positive relationship in the adoption and usage of ...

These technologies have been adapted to support other methods of teaching in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). However, despite efforts by many HEIs to integrate e-learning in their teaching processes, many of them have not succeeded or they have not obtained benefits from the e-learning due to barriers that limit the integration process. This study was conducted to investigate the factors affecting the integration of e-learning with other teaching methods. To achieve this, five Higher Education Institutions in Uganda were purposively identified to participate in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was administered to a sample of 341 students and staff from the selected HEIs. Quantitative statistics including means, frequencies and percentages were used to analyze the data. The main barriers to integration of e-learning were identified as lack of knowledge, lack of resources and staff failure to adapt to new teaching technologies.
