For distance learners, continuous official education is very important for improving knowledge and learning experience to meet the career challenges in the modern world. This work studies the success factors which affect the use of LMS and evaluates the ability to apply the proposed model in the field of distance learning (DL) particularly in higher education. The survey was carried out on higher education learners who were included in the DL instructions. This work has utilized a questionnaire that was modified from literature to inspect three measurements, system design, system usage, and system outcome. Utilizing the obtained survey data for students of DL (N=149), the path analysis discovered that the design of the system has a significant effect on the satisfaction of users and intention for using LMS which affects the use of the system. Consequently, the satisfaction of users and the system used has a great impact on the net benefit.

The primary goal of this research was to investigate AOU students' conceptions of the quality of online experience through the learning management system in supporting their classroom tutorials. A 32-item questionnaire was administered to a randomly selected sample (205) of Elementary Education students at the AOU Jordan Branch. On one hand, the results showed that the objectives of the courses were very clear to students, online materials on the learning management system were interesting and supported to classroom learning, students preferred online quizzes, the online materials supported key assessment tasks and tutors provided continuous access to relevant information about assessment. On the other hand, the findings revealed that the online materials and e-activities were too loaded for the students to understand thoroughly, and much of the feedback they received from the tutor was not helpful. The results also indicated that there were no statistically significant differences among students’ views of BL or their overall satisfaction of the online experience that could be attributed to gender or academic achievement level. Results suggest some pedagogical implications for tutors and programmer coordinators.
Online Learning Conveniences From Students’ Perception: A Case Study in Unive...inventionjournals
ABSTARCT : Convenience is one aspect that should be considered in an online learning environment. Without convenience it is very impossible to implement successfully online learning particularly in higher learning institution. The purpose of this study was to explore the online learning conveniences from students’ perception. A cohort of 61 science physics students from School of Science and Technology (SST) and 41 pre-service science teachers from the School of Education and Social Development (SESD) of Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Malaysia comprised the sample. The course involved is Modern Physics which is compulsory. Both groups were supported via an online learning environment, which acted as the main medium for learning. Participants’ perception on conveniences was recorded through an open-ended questionnaire and focus group interview. The output of these qualitative data can be categorised into several themes, as in general they felt that learning through online is really convenient and ease; and they were also using online to search for information. Somehow there were also negative feedback where they felt not satisfied with the Internet coverage. In additional the SESD’s student stressed that their communication skills were enhanced.

2. Introduction
The Ministry of Higher Education has established new
universities, called emerging universities, to meet the increase
in the numbers of students, Al-Baha University (ABU) is one
these universities established in 2006.
The learning style at ABU is the traditional method (lecture).
In recent years, some universities and educational institutions
have provided commercial Learning Management Systems
(LMS) such as Blackboard, WebCT, and Tadarus (which is an
Arabic-language LMS) to facilitate online learning and
teaching.
3. The main aspects of this study
The study is an attempt to investigate the potential use of wiki
technology at ABU through the students’ point views.
The study seeks to answer the question. To what extent can be
used wiki technology as a learning style at ABU from
students’ point view?
The study relied on four axes related to the use of wiki in
learning in general, and the use of wiki in Saudi education in
particular.
4. Study Axis
First axis: Determine Students’ Possibility to use the
Computer and their skills on the Internet.
Second axis: Identify the extent of students' awareness
of wiki technology and its Main Characteristics.
Third axis: The desire of students to learn via the wiki
technology compare with the current learning style.
Forth axis: Evaluate the Role of ABU with Regard to E-
Learning.
