Abstract
This study investigated the determinants of students' behavioural intention (BI) to use mobile learning management systems (M-LMS) in a blended distance learning environment. The study was undertaken at the College of Distance Education (CoDE) of the University of Cape Coast (UCC) in Ghana. Using a predictive correlational design, a 28-item questionnaire based on the extended technology acceptance model (E-TAM) was used to gather data from 370 undergraduate students. Both descriptive statistics and multiple-linear regression with the stepwise method were applied in the analysis. The study revealed that factors such as perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), perceived educational compatibility (PEC), and facilitating conditions (FC) were significant determinants of students' BI to use M-LMS for learning in a blended distance environment, with PEOU being the best predictor. The study provides useful recommendations for sustainable M-LMS implementation at college and in similar environments. Byline: Emmanuel Arthur-Nyarko, Stephen Brobbey Gyan, Alexander Asante
