Students' Acceptance of CIDOS 3.5 Utilisation (Facilitating Conditions) for Learning Communicative English During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The COVID-19 Pandemic has led to the change of traditional teaching and learning methods to fully online learning. Curriculum Information Document Online System (CIDOS) is one of the web-based applications to facilitate online learning. However, the usage of CIDOS during the Pandemic needs to be better understood. Thus, this research explores the impact of facilitating conditions on students' acceptance of CIDOS 3.5 for learning communicative English amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic. By investigating this relationship, the study aims to shed light on the factors that promote the successful adoption and utilization of technology for effective online learning. In this study, 100 fourth-semester students who were enrolled in the 'Communicative English 3' course and utilized CIDOS 3.5 as a learning tool during the COVID-19 pandemic were selected to participate. The research yielded positive results, indicating that facilitating conditions significantly influence students' acceptance of online learning platforms. Based on the positive results of the study, it is recommended that online learning platforms be designed to prioritize user-friendliness, with easily accessible technical support to ensure a positive user experience.
