Abstract: Goodhue and Thompson (1995) state that Task-to-Performance Chain (TPC) model consists of eight factors that can be used to determine how information systems (ISs) can be used for understanding technology impact on learners. The purpose of this study is to examine how students perceive performance of the LMS used in fully online courses at higher education institutions. Due to their complexity, IS models are very difficult to test in their entirety. With a focus on important dimensions, this study uses specific factors of TPC model dimensions to predict the impact of the platform on individual performance used in a large number of fully online courses. The authors developed six scales to measure six different constructs. The focus in this paper remains on a specific set of dimensions documented as critical important factors when evaluating individual performance in online educational environments, specifically those used to measure learning purposes, therefore a path analysis was conducted to investigate statistical paths that lead to perceived performance. Model fit was inspected via the Tucker Lewis Index (TLI = 0.984), Comparative Fit Index = 0.995, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.057, standardized root mean square residual = 0.010, and the root mean square residual = 0.006 and was found to be acceptable to good.
