Abstract

E-learning is one of the methods for teaching and learning in higher education.E-learning allow instructors to interact with their students through internet facilities.This interaction reduces the constraint of classroom face-to-face method and promotes paperless document sharing. Learning Management System (LMS) is one of the popular tools that have been used to support and manage courses in e-learning environment. LMS enables instructors to manage students’ record, course materials, grading, and communication. Through LMS instructor can upload course materials and share them with the students.Some instructors also utilized other tools such as Dropbox for the ease of document backup and sharing. Dropbox allows documentsynchronization, thus keep the document up to date without direct uploading. Since, both LMS and Dropbox have their own strength and weakness, this paper investigates students’ acceptance and continuous usage of the LMS and Dropbox for document sharing to support teaching and learning.This study utilized the Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to assess students’ acceptance.The findings show that students are positive towards using Dropbox for document sharing as compare to the LMS.
