Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has spread across the globe affecting various aspects of human life, including education. Higher education is facing an unprecedented crisis all over the world. According to the United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization "UNESCO" more than 1.5 billion students in 165 countries have dropped out of academies and universities due to the Covid-19 outbreak. The pandemic has forced academic bodies to discover new learning and teaching forms, including E- learning. Therefore, this study aims to identify the factors influencing the Effectiveness of the E-learning system during Covid-19 in worldwide universities, including Malaysia. A systematic literature review (SLR) has been conducted as the method. It is started by a mapping process extracted from the current guidelines for classifying and structuring research guides published in the field of E-learning in Malaysian universities and worldwide. A total of 220 papers from three online databases were analyzed and underwent three filtering steps. A total of 24 articles were finally accepted for this study to answer the research question. Seven factors likely influencing E-learning efficacies during the pandemic and post-pandemic period were identified. Twenty-four research papers have been acquired, and through these papers, factors apperceived, which substantiated the results (SLR) of seven factors that can affect the adoption of E-learning systems in universities worldwide during the Covid-19 pandemic: 1) Perceived usefulness 2) Perceived ease of use 3) System Quality 4) Actual use system 5) Behavioral intention 6) Attitude toward using 7) Information Quality. The SLR results will be beneficial for understanding the needs of universities to improve the E-learning systems, especially during the period of the pandemic, post-pandemic, or any crises in the future, by looking at the factors that may be a measure of the environment to adapt. The study's results contribute to forming a clear vision of the Effectiveness of E- learning systems during Covid-19 by considering the factors and their future consequences.
