Abstract | This study was designed to assess students’ satisfaction with e-learning at the National Open University Nigeria in order to determine the factors that influence their intention to use e-learning. The constructs system quality, information quality, service quality in Delone and Mclean Information System Success (ISS) model were used to determine user satisfaction and intention to use elearning. The study adopted a survey design and a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from four hundred respondents comprising undergraduate and postgraduate students in the two campuses of National Open University (NOUN) in Lagos, Nigeria. Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage distribution) was used to summarize the data while regression analysis was used to test the formulated hypotheses. The result of test of hypotheses revealed that users’ satisfaction (ß= 0.319, p= 0.000) had a positive significant relationship and contributed more to students’ intention to use e-learning. System quality (ß= -0.074, p= 0.214), service quality (ß= 0.063, p= 0.310) and information quality (ß= 0.025, p= 0.691) did not significantly contribute to students’ intention to use e-learning. However, system quality (ß= 0.262, p= 0.000) and service quality (ß= 0.205, p= 0.000) were significant predictors and contributed more to students’ satisfaction with e-learning but information quality (ß= 0.027, p= 0.645) was not significant and did not contribute to students’ satisfaction. A strong relationship was found between students’ satisfaction and use of e-learning (ß= 0.439, p= 0.000). Recommendations emphasised the development of training programmes on e-learning literacy for National Open University students. Government should endeavour to improve electricity supply and provide means of subsidizing computing and internet facilities for students. Further studies could explore lecturers’ satisfaction with the use of e-learning |
