Abstract
The Islamic Civilisation and Asian Civilisation course or more commonly known as Tamadun Islam and Tamadun Asia (TITAS) is a compulsory course for all students of institutions of higher learning in Malaysia and this includes University Malaysia Sabah (UMS). Therefore this course is among the courses that records a high enrolment of students every semester which has led to an increase in load for the lecturers of this course. Additionally, the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) has launched a blended learning approach in teaching and learning. Hence, in order to streamline the curriculum as well as to lessen the load of the TITAS lecturers, the MOHE has developed the TITAS MOOCs learning module that is spearheaded by University Putra Malaysia (UPM). This paper will analyse the acceptance of the TITAS MOOCs learning module among the UMS students. The study shows that the reception of the UMS students towards the TITAS MOOCs module is positive and there is a high relation between the factors of acceptance, which consist of Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use and Social Influence, with the acceptance of the UMS students which is seen as Voluntary Usage. This research is essential to evaluate the relevance of the TITAS MOOCs module as well as the UMS environment in order to realise this blended learning approach in the TITAS course. � IAEME Publication.
