Abstract – The objectives of the study is figuring out
of the results of adoption of electronic learning systems
(BeSmart) using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)
factors and servqual models to measure the education
services. The data was obtained using SEM with
AMOS 2.4. From the findings of the study, note that
EoU and U of electronic learning systems hava a
positive and significant effect on ESQ through student
satisfaction. These findings contribute to university
management to understand that service quality needs
to pay attention to Ease of Use, Usefulness, and student
satisfaction. This research provides insights into the
importance of improving the quality of service in
education and students’ satisfaction, especially in the
provision of service in learning and teaching field. As
such, the study has implications for teaching and
learning practice in higher education institution, and
suggests recommendations for further research.
Keywords – service quality, student satisfaction,
convenience, usefulness

educators are encouraged to utilize technology in
their teaching as a tool to facilitate learning or as a
means for formative assessment [1], [2]. Judging
from the current educational trends, many
universities in Indonesia use online learning systems
such as e-learning with the aim of improving student
learning outcomes, student satisfaction, and the
quality of educational services [3].
E-learning is defined as a system in education that
applies electronic applications to encourage the
process of learning so that what is taught is fully
conveyed to students who receive it. E-learning
applications use internet, computer networks or
standalone computers as an operating tool with the
lecturer as the main actor, so that lecturers in this
case must understand how to operate it [4]. The
adoption of electronic learning like BeSmart has
been shown to improve student performance [5].
However, not all learning processes carried out by
lecturers and students use the portals that have been
provided. In fact, Cheung & Hew (2015); Geng, Law
& Niu (2019) revealed that online lectures can
enhance the quality of educational services and
outcomes of student learning [6], [7]. Improving the
quality of service through the use of BeSmart must
be supported by the intention to use the learning
media. Intention is defined as the desire to conduct
behavior [8]. Skiner defines behavior as a response
or reaction to a stimulus (stimulation from outside).
This is in accordance with Planned Behavior Theory
(PBT) which affirms that behavior is an action
carried out based on the factors that influence it.
Thus, user behavior in this case is the key to success
in implementing the use of the system or technology.
Much of the literature has discussed the factors
associated with the process of adoption of
information technology. The model of technology
acceptance or TAM is one of the most dominating
models of research. TAM consists of several
variables that explain behavioral intentions and the
use of technology both directly and indirectly.
Schepers and Wetzels (2007) divide the TAM
