The Effect of Information Quality in E-Learning System

Information quality (IQ) is a term to describe the quality of the content of information system. Information quality is the main factor that increases or decreases the efficiency of information systems including e-learning system because of certain factors that explained in this paper. The main point of this study is about the concept and the main dimensions of information quality (Accuracy, Relevancy, Accessibility, and Validity).It evaluates the impacts of these dimensions and the efficiency of e-learning system. The study found that Accuracy is the strongest dimension that affects the information quality of e-learning system followed by Accessibility, Validity, and Relevancy respectively.
