 note = {In the Japanese university context, student and faculty acceptance of technology is a rather underresearchedfield. Due to this lack of research and our universityʼs move towards promotinge-learning, this project aimed to examine the reception of the learning management system (LMS),officially known as Manaba, currently in place at Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University. Althoughthe current LMS has only been in place for two years, it was necessary to analyze student and staffperceptions of its utilization in order to improve its implementation in the future. Therefore, tounderstand student and faculty perceptions of the LMSʼs use, a quantitative survey was designedand modified from the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the most widely used model toclassify a userʼs technological acceptance. The quantitative TAM survey, consisting of 17 questions,was distributed to 446 students and 16 English lecturers based on the categories of perceived selfefficacy,perceived enjoyment/ease of use, perceived usefulness, and behavioral intention of theLMS. The results of the survey indicated students and lecturers leaned favorably toward acceptingthe new technology in place. We believe these results offer valuable insights for universities seekingto effectively implement an LMS for homework and assessment purposes.},
