Abstract:
Originally developed for delivering distance learning programs, e-education systems in their current forms are powerful, web-based information systems with capabilities that match Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. By carrying out their deployments on an enterprise-level basis, many Higher Education Institutions (HEI) are able to leverage on their powerful functionalities and ERP-like integrative capabilities to put together academic and administrative systems (Twigg 2002).

This study is proposing that it may no longer relevant to still evaluate e-education systems as only educational technologies in view of the current implementation environment where new forms of e-education systems are now information systems of strategic relevance in many HEI (Moul 2002). E-education systems should therefore be studied as: mainstream information systems, i.e. within the paradigms of information systems evaluation research and no longer as educational technology or innovation. This study looks into information systems success model that can be developed to explain and predict the success of e-education systems implementation. It identifies constructs to measure e-education systems implementation success; investigates the appropriate dependent variable as a proxy for e-education systems implementation success and finally develops and validates the model. The findings from this research, showed that the ‘organizational IS continuance’ construct is a viable proxy for information systems implementation success and the model developed can be equally applied and generalizable across different stakeholder groups.
