| dc.description.abstract | Higher learning institutions have adopted e-learning systems in an attempt to make learning more accessible in a cost-effective manner to large population of learners across the globe and to improve students’ performance. E-learning involves the delivery of information through information systems. There has been a problem in student performance as there have been reports of low performance among e-learning students in some universities. Various measures have been implemented to ensure that success of e-learning in universities such as improved students’ academic performance. This study sought to find out the effect of e-learning systems on student performance in Kenyatta University City Campus. The objectives were; to determine the effect of e-learning tools, e-learning programs, learning management system and e-library platforms on students’ performance at the Kenyatta University City Campus. The study was anchored on absorptive capacity theory and supported by systems theory, and supported by the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and innovation diffusion theory. The study adopted descriptive research design and used the quota sampling method to get a sample size of 384 respondents picked from those undertaking undergraduate and master’s programs. Primary data was collected using semi-structured questionnaires that produced qualitative and quantitative data. From the distributed 384 questionnaires, 270 were filled and returned, making a response rate of 70.3 percent. The analysis consisted of descriptive, inferential and content analysis and findings presented in tables, figures and discussions. The analysis was done using Statistical Packages of Social Sciences 25 (SPSS) program. The study established that e-learning tools, e-learning programs, learning management system and e-library platforms all had positive and significant influence to academic performance of students. From the descriptive analysis, the study respondents strongly agreed that adoption of electronic learning systems contributed to improved academic performance outcomes. Regression analysis established that the changes in student academic performance in terms of high-test scores was largely due to adoption and utilization of electronic learning systems at the Kenyatta University. The study therefore concluded that electronic learning systems influence student academic performance. The study also recommended to the universities to adopt digital learning systems and to the government to support and develop policies that push for adoption of e-learning systems in universities. When seeking high academic performance in students, the learning institutions should adopt e-learning systems. | |
