Abstract

This study serves as a means to indicated whether Schoology should be used as a substitute for Moodle at the University of Belize, Toledo Campus. Schoology, a Learning Management System developed by Jeremy Friedman and others, is used at the university but it is not an official substitute for the universities’ Moodle, which is not too easy to use. To come to a conclusion, we need to predict the actual usage of Schoology by the students because if students will use this system then it would be recommended as a substitute LMS. To do this, we used the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), created by Davis, that included four variables that can influence actual usage. We reached out to 30 students to collect our data using an online survey. The data collected was analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. It resulted that all the variables correlated positively to the behavioral intention, which is the predictor of the actual usage. Therefore, we concluded that there is a positive possibility that the students will use schoology platform as a substitute for Moodle.
