ABSTRACT
This chapter determines the effect of information literacy on students' perception toward the educational services offered by an asynchronous course management system (CMS) for the support of the traditional instruction method in tertiary physical education (PE) institutions. Participants were 211 PE students between the ages of 19 and 24 years, who were sorted into three groups according to their information literacy level: high, medium, and low users of technology. Data was collected using an online survey during a one-week period. One-way analyses of variances (ANOVAs) revealed significant differences between the three user groups, in each factor of the perception questionnaire: interaction', participation', educational material', usefulness', and user control'. In the above factors, the high and medium user groups reported better results than the low-technology user group. The chapter concludes that learner familiarity with computer and online technologies made positive contributions to their perception toward course management systems.
