ABSTRACT: Despite of the advantages of Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) which makes our lives easier, faster, and
more connected, the development of ICT is pushing the countries in the
direction of ICT applications. The higher education is one of the sectors that
try to adopt one of ICT applications through E-learning and using (Moodle) as
learning management system. This paper finds out the impact of Moodle on
students through examining the students’ acceptance of the system using TAM
model. This study was carried out by some teaching members of the Faculty of
King Abdullah II School for Information Technology at the University of Jordan
during the spring semester of the academic year 2013/2014. The results of this
study firm the original TAM’s findings and reveal that the faculties of
students and number of previously E-learning courses have an influence on
perceive ease of use and perceived usefulness while the level of the academic
year and GPA have no significant influence on perceived ease of use. Even
though, they have affected on perceived usefulness. Finally, the student’s
skills on computer with student’s difficulty in reading from the screen affect
perceived ease of use but, it has been found that they have no influence on
perceived usefulness.
