Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on all aspects of life, including education. Many countries opted to physically close all educational institutions. As a consequence, there was a shift towards online teaching and learning methods. Educators and students were unprepared for this transition and encountered numerous obstacles. This study investigates the efficacy of the ‘Canvas’ learning management system in facilitating learning and education. Using a theoretical framework underpinned by the Technology Acceptance Model, the study employed a research design that combined both qualitative and quantitative methods in a sequential and explanatory manner. The study centers on female students of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women's University, aged 17 to 25, who were enrolled in the Intensive English Language course. US Mission Pakistan delivered This course through the Canvas application in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Simple random sampling was used for the quantitative portion, involving 132 respondents. For the qualitative component, purposive sampling method was employed, involving face-to-face interviews with 10 respondents. SPSS was used to conduct an analysis of the quantitative data. A regression model was employed to assess the impact of the independent variables—perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, behavioral intent, and—on the dependent variable—actual use of the Canvas application. The study's findings show that the utilization of Canvas and its associated tools played a vital role in fostering students' satisfaction and facilitating positive experiences with the platform. Thus, it is also recommended to utilize the Canvas application for accredited campus courses.
