Abstrakt: Over the past few years, the rhetoric of implementing social media, especially web 2.0 technologies along learning management system (LMS) were assumed to diffuse pertinent knowledge among university students. The educators have attempted to follow what the latest study seems to suggest, but the question of their perception towards acceptance of social media support in learning and teaching system is still remain unresolved. Concurrently, the undergraduate students were struggling to par down into something that sounds 'interactive.' Through adaption of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), we aim to explore whether extension contextual factors such as ease of use, interactivity and usefulness can enable our undergraduate students to be engaged in positive learning . As matter of fact, thirty students from Mass Communication field were selected for the pilot test where their coursework requires them to make use of weblog- Edublogs support in complementary to their classroom learning and teaching. Results shows consistent internal reliability for all the perception of effectiveness factors where further extension research is significantly supported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
