Abstract

Current study is undertaken to examine the role of Information & Communication Technology (ICT), motivational variables, and virtual competence towards students' e-learning effectiveness. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used for data analysis. Findings revealed that different components of ICT, except perception, have a positive impact on e-learning effectiveness. Also, perceived usefulness, perceived enjoyment, virtual self-efficacy, and virtual social skills positively contribute towards e-learning effectiveness of students which contribute to their knowledge acquisition and satisfaction. Findings of the study have unique implications for universities, faculty and students to create/use e-platforms for effective learning experiences.
