Abstract

The aim of the current research is to reveal the impact of the cloud learning management system on developing the level of technological acceptance among instructional technology students to employ it in the instructional process and benefit from its advantages. The content in the experimental treatment material was based on the topics related to the Moodle cloud, and its use skills (skills for dealing with: the system, users, course, resources, activities, testing, blocks). The research tool was a measure of technological acceptance while experimental processing material is represented in an e-learning environment based on the Moodle cloud. The results indicated that the Moodle cloud has effectively contributed to raising the level of technological acceptance among instructional technology students.
Among the recommendations of the research: The need for universities to use the technology acceptance model before adopting any new technology in education and spread awareness of the importance of cloud learning management systems especially in academia and its role in the instructional process through open meetings and seminars, Establish a time plan by decision makers to accelerate the implementation of the Moodle cloud in education and work to develop the Internet infrastructure to increase its speed and avoid interruption, A mechanism must be adopted to motivate teachers financially and morally to use the Moodle cloud system for teaching and organizing training courses for faculty members at the university, To train them to use the Moodle cloud to build successful courses.
