Assessing e-learning system in higher education institutes: Evidence from structural equation modelling

Purpose: This study aims to examine university students’ acceptance of e-learning systems in Pakistan. A Web-based learning system is a new form of utilizing technological features. Although, developed countries have initiated and established the concept for e-learning, developing countries require...
