Abstract: Information technology and information systems (IT/IS) have been widely adopted in the US educational institutions during the last three decades. Recently the internet-based educational technology has emerged and become an important education tool. WebCT/blackboard is an online learning system implemented by Portland State University (PSU). The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate the factors influencing instructors' use of WebCT/blackboard online learning system. The data is based on a survey conducted in spring 2008 by the Advisory Committee on Academic Information Technologies (ACAIT) of PSU. An ordinal logistic regression model is formulated to analyse the factors' influence. Results show that user training (UT) and user satisfaction (US) are the significant factors influencing instructor's intention to use WebCT/blackboard system.
