Abstract
This research evaluated the direct impact of an e-learning system on academic performance at higher education institutions in Tanzania. The research was guided by the modified Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and used descriptive and explanatory cross-sectional survey research designs. Likewise, the study used the positivism paradigm and a simple random sampling technique to get a sample size of 322 respondents. The data were obtained through administration of questionnaires and the review of relevant documents. The acquired data underwent inferential statistical analysis using Partial Squares Structural Equation Modeling with the assistance of SmartPLS 4. Additionally, descriptive statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics Version 26 to examine the data collected on respondents' profiles. The results indicate that the e-learning system and behavioral intention have a direct impact on academic performance. Nevertheless, the moderation effect of behavioral intention on the link between the e-learning system and academic performance is negligible. The research confirms that both the e-learning system and behavioral intention have a significant impact on academic performance. Thus, it is essential for higher education institutions in Tanzania and other developing nations to take into account the behavioral intentions of students while deploying e-learning systems in order to optimize the academic performance.
