Evaluation of e-Learning System during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Morocco: A Partial Least Squares Modeling Approach

Abdelaziz Ouajdouni, Khalid Chafik, and Omar Boubker

Abstract—E-learning was a major study area during COVID-19 pandemic. Practically, public and private higher education institutions worldwide have switched from traditional face-to-face teaching to online learning solutions in order to deal with the spread of the coronavirus. Hence, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the e-learning solution during COVID‐19 crisis. The research data were gathered using a self-administered online survey from Moroccan public university students. Through using the structural equation modeling under the partial least squares (PLS-SEM), the findings reveal that instructor quality has a direct and significant influence on system use and learner satisfaction. Likewise, user satisfaction is positively associated with system quality. Moreover, the e-learning system success is driven by both system use and learner satisfaction. These results are useful for Moroccan University policymakers in order to develop best practices to ensure a successful e-learning implementation.

Index Terms—E-learning system, COVID-19 pandemic, higher education, Morocco.
