Identification and Ranking the measuring component of e-learning systems success in universities with fuzzy network analysis approach

(Case Study: Sistan and Baluchestan University)

ABSTRACT

Nowadays, one of the invention that created dramatic changes in human life is computers and the Internet that create the virtual world. And is an incentive for universities to invest in e-learning. But what makes clear the importance of issue, is trying to achievement the success in use of e-learning systems and assessment the success of these systems. Unsuccessful efforts to implement e-learning system will result in loss of investment. This study, with purpose of identifying and ranking the measuring factors of e-learning systems success in universities, were done with fuzzy network analysis approach. So at first, based on previous research, components of e-learning systems success have been proposed. The No.1 questionnaires were given to decision group (Teachers and Virtual students of Sistan and Baluchestan University) to identify the components of e-learning system success. Questionnaires were used to the number one person in the group. Collected Data from No.1 questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS software. The single-sample T-test was used for data analysis. 7 components and 28 indexes were finalized. Then No.2 Questionnaire, with the purpose of prioritizing the measuring components of e-learning systems success in universities and based on finalized Components and index in previous step, were designed and given to 20 experts in e-learning field. Collected data from No.2 Questionnaire were analyzed using fuzzy network analysis techniques. The main components are: 1) data quality, 2) service quality, 3) system and infrastructure quality, 4) Supporting factors, 5) teacher characteristics, 6) student characteristics and 7) environmental factors respectively.

Key words: fuzzy Network Analysis – E-Learning System – Universities – Identification – Ranking- components and indexes of e-learning system success
