Abstract
The purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of the actual use of e-Learning, academic performance and community interaction on the continued use of e-Learning. To achieve this objective, an experiment was conducted to test the adoption of e-Learning in diverse infrastructural settings in Tanzanian secondary schools. Firstly, the adoption of e-Learning by using DVD player and Television were tested. Secondly, the adoptions of e- Learning by using either smart phone or smart phone connected to a TV were tested. Thirdly, the adoptions of e-Learning by using either standalone computer or computer connected to a projector were tested. Results of the pre-test and post-test showed that the actual use of e-Learning has a positive relationship with the academic performance of students. In addition to that, results of the field observations revealed that: (i) the academic performance of students has a positive relationship with the continued use of e-Learning (ii) the actual use of e- Learning indirectly affects the continued use of e- Learning through the academic performance of students (iii) bringing students and teachers in contact with the broader community enhance the continued use of e-Learning.
