dc.description.abstractMalaysian university students undertook online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, mainly through virtual learning environments. This study aims to investigate students’ actual use behavior of virtual learning environments, the factors that influence actual use behavior, the moderating effect of network connectivity on this relationship, as well as challenges faced by students while using this technology. To test the hypotheses that the modified Unified Theory Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 variables affect actual use behavior, an online survey was distributed via email to IMU students. The results after analysis showed that hedonic motivation, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use significantly affected actual use behavior, while network connectivity had no significant moderating effect on these relationships. Moreover, hedonic motivation had the strongest effect on actual use behavior, followed by perceived usefulness. Also, key challenges include high cost associated with usage, and inadequate network connectivity. These results indicate students will be inclined to accept the technology if there is high hedonic motivation, perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use. Universities should focus on enhancing these factors to increase acceptance of this technology among students, as virtual learning environments have untapped potential for distance learning.
