4. Research Aim and Methodology   

The aim of the particular piece of research discussed in this paper has been to form a theoretical framework that can 

provide the decision makers governing Saudi Arabian educational institutions with a proper insight and deeper 

understanding of the factors that influence the use of Jusur LMS. The extensive review of already existing 

publications relevant to this study enabled the author to determine the important variables related to the factors 

influencing the use of LMS in higher education and identify those existing theories and models which could be 

applied most appropriately in order to develop a relevant framework. The theoretical framework for the study was 

constructed based on two well-known and tested theories, namely the Theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein & 

Ajzen, 1975) and Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1986).
