Abstract

Learning management systems (LMS) have been widely used in higher education for enhancing traditional classroom teaching. However, there is not such a model fully explains the interrelationships of the students, the teachers, and the external dimensions of factors affecting students and teachers in LMS adoption and use. This study aims to explore the students' and teachers' use of LMS by reviewing previous literature. Six dimensions of factors (students, teachers, technology, resources, pedagogy, and curriculum) affecting information and communication technology (ICT) use in education were identified and discussed. Finally, a holistic ICT adoption model (HICTAM) comprising all these dimensions is proposed. The implication and contribution of this model is included in the discussion section. The paper is concluded with suggestions for future research study.
