Abstract
We started this journey of research project with the objective of advancing the adoption of LMS in the higher education institutions of the Middle East. This research attempted to address the limitations of the original UTAUT2 model and has developed an amalgamated model by incorporating new (moderating) variables such as cultural dimensions and technology awareness. This chapter provides a summary of both the theoretical and practical contributions and implications of this research project. As in the case of any research project, future research avenues are also explored in this chapter.
