Abstract

The objective of this study is to propose a research framework that investigates the relation between perceived fit and system factors that can motivate learners in continuing utilizing an e-learning system in blended learning instruction. As learners have the face-to-face learning opportunity in interacting with lecturers, the study aims at investigating the critical features the e-learning system can provide in assisting learning. Both quantitative (survey) and qualitative (focus group interview) methods are applied in this paper. Results reveal that the information quality and task-technology fit influence the confirmation of system acceptance. Perceived usefulness and system satisfaction have major impacts on continuance intentions. Notions from contingency theory are used to interpret these findings.

► We apply theories of task-technology fit, information system success model and contingency theory to investigate factors that keep learners utilizing e-learning system. ► Both quantitative, survey, and qualitative, focus group interview, methods are applied in the case of blended learning instruction. ► Perceived usefulness and system satisfaction have major impacts on continuance intentions.
