The Diffusion of LMS among Distance Learning Students in Ghana using the Diffusion of Innovation Theory

Objective: To research the elements affecting use of LMS among Distance Learning Students at Public Universities in Ghana. The study contributes to our understanding many dimensions adoption LMS, including their acceptability, use, and eventual integration into user’s daily life how that influences behaviour. Methods: This only uses quantitative methods. strategy was chosen because it involves an empirical analysis social phenomena surrounding by distance learning students acquire data required for study, datagathering techniques like surveys. involved a survey variables Ghanaian public university education, mentioning sample size, period coverage, demography, parameters considered, made. Findings: Our findings show innovation characteristics all have positive impact on diffusion innovations. Relative advantage had (t = 2.946, p-value 0.003). Compatibility also 4.23, 0.000). Complexity, Trialability, Observability innovations, as 6.144, 0.000), 3.58, 3.573, respectively. Novelty: results showed such relative advantage, complexity, observability, trialability, compatibility stronger students’ intentions utilise LMS. implies potential improve academic achievement, may consider advantageous if can accommodate needs. Hence, appropriate policies strategies should be put place ensure find less complex, well-suited needs, advantageous. Keywords: Ghana; eLearning; Learning; Adoption; University; Benefits
