It's interesting to read this post in the context of the article on measurement I just cited. This post "assessed the success of the e-learning system adopted by the higher education institutions in UAE during the pandemic" using an "information systems success model, including the measures of: information quality, system quality, system importance, system prior-use, perceived usefulness, user satisfaction and future-use intent." Of these, "information quality was found to have the strongest direct and total indirect effect" and so "education institutions, therefore, must prioritize the quality of information and education imparted to the students." Now I would find this conclusion unintuitive (though I suspect many educators would not) because I think that things like access, relevance and learning design are more important. But of course I can't simply depend on my feelings here; I would need to show that the study was constructed in such a way that access, relevance and learning design were factored out, and so not measured (which is in fact what I think has happened).
