Students’ characteristics such as students’ motivation to use e-learning technology and students’ computing competency have also found to be related with e-learning effectiveness. As compared with the instructor and students’ characteristics, technology and impediments quality in terms of access, navigation, interface and the reliability effectiveness of technology infrastructure have the highest relation to e-learning effectiveness. In conclusion, the results from this study indicate that instructor characteristics, student characteristics, technology, and impediments have strong relationships with e-learning effectiveness.
