The study aimed at investigating college students' acceptance of Moodle through Learning Management Systems in the light of the UTAUT Model. For the purpose of this study, quantitative survey research was the most suitable one, and so it was employed. The independent variable is UTAUT model with its four constructs: Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI) and Facilitating Conditions (FC), Students' Acceptance of Moodle Through Learning Management Systems is the dependent variable. A purposive sampling technique was adopted in the administration of the questionnaire, thus students who engage Introduction to Educational Technology Classes on University of Basic Education campus were contacted. After obtaining the informed consent from all students involved, a total of 310 (69.35% females, and 30.65% males) students participated in this study. They ranged in age from 19 to 21 years (M = 20.08, SD =3.27). Findings revealed that there were significant correlations between the four constructs: Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Social Influence (SI) and Facilitating Conditions (FC) and Students' Acceptance of Moodle Through Learning Management Systems. These correlations were significant (P <.01). It was found that the four independent variables (PE, EE, SI and FC) when put together yielded a coefficient of multiple regression (R) of 0. 157 and a multiple correlation square of 0. 146. This shows that 14.6% of the total variance in LMS of those who participated in the study is accounted for by the combination of PE, EE, SI and FC. (Published Abstract)
