The Investigation of Student Engagement as Mediator in ICT Readiness and Experience on E-Learning Effectiveness in Post-Pandemic Recovery

Abstract

E-learning is an asynchronous or synchronous communication mode to confirm knowledge through electronic media. The implementation of e-learning in Indonesia has many challenges, including the low independent learning culture, which creates the perception that the absence of direct interaction between lecturers and students and e -learning does not always enhance students' abilities to study independently. The effectiveness of e-learning needs to assess to assist e-learning providers with product customization so that e-learning matches the needs and expectations of users. This study analyzes the effect of information and communication technology (ICT) readiness and experience on the effectiveness of e-learning with student engagement as a mediator. This research used Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) to test the hypothesis. The results of this study are the mediation of emotional engagement on readiness, cognitive engagement on information seeking, cognitive engagement on socialization and behavior engagement on readiness and socialization have a significant effect on e-learning effectivity.
