Management System (LMS) namely, i-Learn at University Teknologi MARA
(UiTM). The research examines four factors affecting the utilization of
LMS which are technology competency, accessibility of i-Learn, lecturers’
initiative and students perceive usefulness toward the utilization of i-Learn.
The research employed the quantitative methodology. The respondents are
the final year student of computing department at Faculty of Computer and
Mathematical Sciences. Findings revealed that the level of utilization of
i- Learn features is acceptable where score (Mean=2.94). Thus, the highest
mean refers to technology competency (Mean = 3.16) followed by lecturers’
initiative (Mean = 3.10), students’ access to i-Learn (Mean = 3.00) and
the lowest is students perceive usefulness toward utilization of i-Learn
(Mean = 2.89). This studies also showed the correlation between factors
affecting the utilization of i-Learn with theutilizationofi-Learnfeatures.
Four hypotheses were analysed and tested where three were accepted and one was rejected. The result showed that ”equationeditor”and develop
content within i-Learnare preferred as an additional tool, contributed as
the highest mean (Mean = 3.05) and (Mean = 3.04) respectively. Finally,
recommendations for future improvements of LMS were also discussed.
In line with the current educational situation, this study findings can be
guidelines for other universities that practiced web-based learning to
