E-PJJ is a form of e-learning system that offers working adults to engagein UiTM’s distance learning programme. The system provides the studentsaccess to the course materials and lecture notes as well as to the interactionamong students, and between students and the lecturers. The purpose of thisstudy was to identify student’s satisfaction toward e-learning programmeoffered by Institute of Neo Education (iNED). A survey questionnairewas administered among the respondents who are undergraduates inthe e-PJJ degree programmes, iNED at UiTM Shah Alam. This researchexamined the relationship of delivery method, content, communicationfacilities and system operations towards the level of student’s satisfaction.The findings showed a positive relationship between delivery methods,content, communication facilities, also system operations and student’ssatisfaction. In addition, delivery method scored a moderate positiverelationship towards student’s satisfaction. This study might be veryuseful for the institution that offer similar programme, namely distancelearning that requires ICT to distribute knowledge, to teach and learn.All the shortcomings in the distance learning would be resolved for bettereducation and service quality for future students. Keywords: e-learning, distance learning, E-PJJ, student’s satisfaction,higher education.

Sistem E-learning dikembangkan oleh Undiksha untuk meningkatkan efektivitas dan kualitas pembelajaran. Namun pada kenyataannya E-learning Undiksha belum dimanfaatkan secara maksimal oleh dosen di lingkungan Undiksha. Pengguna dapat menerima dan menggunakan sistem adalah hal yang penting untuk dapat mengetahui tingkat keberhasilan dari implementasi sistem tersebut. Oleh karena itu penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku penggunaan sistem E-learning Undiksha dengan model Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). UTAUT merupakan salah satu model penerimaan teknologi yang menggabungkan delapan teori penerimaan teknologi sebelumnya. UTAUT memiliki empat konstruk utama yaitu ekspektasi kinerja, ekspektasi usaha,  pengaruh sosial dan kondisi yang memfasilitasi.Data diperoleh dengan cara menyebarkan kuesioner tertutup dengan sampel 64 Dosen Undiksha. Dianalisis menggunakan software SPSS. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) Ekspektasi kinerja, ekpektasi usaha, pengaruh sosial dan kondisi yang memfasiitasi berpengaruh positif terhadap perilaku penggunaan sistem E-learning Undiksha (2) Variabel moderator jenis kelamin memperkuat hubungan ekspektasi kinerja dan ekspektasi usaha terhadap perilaku penggunaan sistem E-learning Undiksha sedangkan untuk variabel moderator jenis kelamin memperlemah hubungan variabel pengaruh sosial terhadap perilaku penggunaan sistem E-learning Undiksha (3) Variabel moderator umur memperkuat hubungan variabel ekspektasi kinerja, ekspektasi usaha, pengaruh sosial dan kondisi yang memfasilitasi terhadap perilaku penggunaan sistem E-learning Undiksha (4) Variabel moderator pengalaman memperkuat hubungan ekspektasi usaha, pengaruh sosial dan kondisi yang memfasilitasi terhadap perilaku penggunaan sistem E-learning Undiksha.AbstractE-learning was developed by ganesha university of education to improve learning effectiveness and quality. Yet, this system had not used maximally by lecturers in the institution.  Users which could accept and use the system was an important thing to know degree of its implementation successfulness. Hence, this study aimed at analyzing factors affecting use behavior of UNDIKSHA’s E-learning system with Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. UTAUT is one of technology acceptance model combining 8 previous technology acceptance theories. It has 4 main constructs, namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating condition.The data were collected through giving closed questionnaire to lecturers. It involved 64 lecturers in UNDIKSHA as the sample of this study. The obtained data were analysed by means of SPSS. The results show that (1) Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating condition have positive impact on the use behavior of the E-learning system, (2) Gender moderator variable strengthens the relationship of performance expectancy and effort expectancy towards the use behavior of the E-learning system, but weakens the relationship between social influence variable and the use behavior, (3) Age moderator variable strengthens the relationship of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating condition towards the use behavior of the E-learning system, and (4) Experience moderator variable strengthens the relationship of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating condition towards the use behavior of the E-learning system.

The development of a modern e-learning system promotes the active introduction of distance education. The organization of a mixed form of education at the department of Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapy involves an education during the session and using the distance contact between faculty and students during the intersessional period. The information technology system of distance learning is provided by personal computers, video and audio equipment. The web-site of the department presents a set of teaching materials, including curriculas, work programs, lecture notes, test assignments, situational tasks, control and individual course work. Distance learning is supplemented with new teaching materials: web lectures, e-learning textbooks and manuals. Lectures are delivered by faculty members in the form of video conferences or webinars. Consultations are conducted in the on-line mode each week at a certain time by the teachers of the department according to the schedule. The website of the department presents methods for implementing practical skills, video stories of individual urgent states on the pathology of internal organs, demonstrates sets of medicines for seven types of first aid kits to improve the students' knowledge and skills, and to successfully pass the practical part of the state certification of graduates from the discipline "Clinical pharmacy".

In the context of the COVID pandemic, there has dramatically increased the significance of distance learning technologies. Higher education will most probably increase their usage even after overcoming the coronavirus. This paper aims at assessing Russian university students’ readiness to exercise distance learning technologies. The survey within Rostov-on-Don universities provided data on 428 students’ skills in using Internet technologies when studying. It is shown that in the pre-pandemic period, no more than a quarter of students had the necessary skills to participate in video conferences, and about 16 % of students took online courses autonomously. Only 6,5 % of the respondents could manage both technologies that comprise distance learning. The results obtained on the relationship between academic performance and self-participation in online courses, as well as on the relationship of these indicators with general digital literacy and immersion in social networks, should be taken into account within wide computerization of education during the pandemic.

Managers and ministers exercise influence over their members inside and outside of their organizations. We examine the relationship of servant leadership from two contexts, an individual’s workplace and place of worship, with regulatory foci, and, in turn, entrepreneurial behavior and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) at work. Moreover, we contend that spiritual discipline (i.e., prayer and reading sacred texts) moderates the relationship of servant leadership to regulatory focus by altering the salience of each leader’s behavior. Using data collected in two waves from 912 working adults, we test the proposed relationships with multi-group structural equation modeling. Findings largely support the hypotheses and point toward important implications for servant leadership in both workplace and place of worship settings.

PurposeOne of the most significant threats of COVID-19 in the world is the closure of universities, schools, training courses and even companies and organizations. In such a situation and with the free time that has arisen, this threat of education closure can become a golden opportunity for learning and progress in virtual education. E-learning uses information technology (IT) to distribute knowledge and information for training and education. Also, cloud computing is a technology utilized in the IT domain. It can be employed in performing e-learning. Therefore, the main goal of this study is to assess the impact of cultural characteristics, economic situations, skills and knowledge on the development and success of CELS in the COVID-19 era.Design/methodology/approachCloud-based e-learning system (CELS) provides all e-learning requirements like software and hardware resources to promote conventional e-learning technologies. The CELS stands on several factors of diverse aspects that have been of high significance in CELS success. So, these systems must be checked to analyze their significance rate and successfully carry out their effectiveness. On the other hand, these days, the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) changes our daily lifestyles. Therefore, the present investigation provides a new model investigating the development and success of CELS in the COVID-19 era. Also, an online questionnaire was used to gather the data. The content validity of the questionnaire was obtained by applying the opinions of ten experts from e-learning specialists. The collected data are analyzed using LISREL and Smart PLS software.FindingsThe results from the path coefficient and the sample t-test have implied that skills and knowledge positively influence CELS in the COVID-19 era. In addition, the relationship between cultural characteristics and CELS in the COVID-19 era has been positive and significant. The relationship between the economic situations and the CELS in the COVID-19 era is positive and significant.Practical implicationsThe proposed model helps managers get a big picture of CELS necessities and more effectively in the COVID-19 era. This research has a unique impact on universities to develop an e-learning platform to facilitate the education process in the COVID-19 era. It provides guidelines for educational institutions to effectively implement the learning management system to facilitate students' education.Originality/valueCELS are getting increasingly essential to offer training courses more efficiently in educational institutions. Although the intersection between cloud computing and e-learning has increasingly grown in both practical and academic contexts, few studies on the impact of cultural characteristics, economic situations, skills and knowledge on the development and success of CELS in the COVID-19 era. This paper explores the ignored but critically important subject of CELS. This paper's main contribution is to present a new and integrated model containing the essential aspects of the development and success of CELS in the COVID-19 era. The proposed framework comprises cultural characteristics, economic situations, skills and knowledge aspects simultaneously, as well as sub-criteria denoting each element.
