The study investigates the underlying motives facilitating users' continuance intention for digital content in academic settings. Extending the expectation confirmation model of IS continuance (ECM-ISC), the study proposes a conceptual model by incorporating personal and technological antecedents of users' continuance intention for digital…

This study investigates the effect of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and DeLone and McLean information system success model (IS success model) on facets of system use for digital library systems. These facets include lean measures (e.g. frequency, duration, and intensity) and rich measures of system use (e.g. deep…

Aim/Purpose: The aim of this work is to explore which factors impact on the adoption of the flipped classroom in vocational education to pave the way for the schools which want to apply this model.

Mobile learning (m-Learning) is considered to be one of the fastest growing learning platforms. The immense interest in m-Learning is attributed to the incredible rate of growth of mobile technology and its proliferation into every aspect of modern life. Despite this, m-Learning has not experienced a similar adoption rate in the education sector,…

This paper develops a research model based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT) and Hofstede's cultural dimensions to explore factors that influence student effort at learning Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. A Structural Equation Model (SEM) using LISREL was utilized to validate the proposed research…

This study proposes an extended technology acceptance model to predict acceptance of synchronous e-learning by examining relationships among variables associated with factors influencing the technology acceptance of synchronous e-learning. Learners at an online university participated through an online survey; there were 251 respondents in all.…

A process developed at Colorado State University to assess college students' knowledge of microcomputers prior to taking an introductory microcomputer course uses self-questionnaires to place students in the microcomputer learning curve according to their knowledge of and interest in microcomputers. Students can then be grouped into different…

This document provides extensive procedural detail for the design and execution of a needs analysis/feasibility study survey and the resulting 6-day experimental demonstration project of information and instructional programming (called Cablexpo), which was presented over two of the Iowa State University's five cable television access channels.…

This paper provides a progress report on an investigation to validate and extend the autocatalytic model for the adoption of educational innovations. Three topics are dealt with: (1) a brief description is provided of the autocatalytic model and its current application, (2) the design of a survey to collect data for further tests of the model is…

The Studies of Implementation is a three-year, longitudinal investigation focusing on the process by which an innovation is implemented and becomes a pattern of individualized schooling. An examination is made of the behavior of 13 elementary schools during the entire change process, which includes the adoption, implementation, and adaptation of…

An external evaluation of a subprogram of the Experimental Schools Program called the Edgewood School Plan, this study attempted to discover the extent to which educational changes can be accurately explained and forecast. A model was constructed containing the three explanatory variables of conditions, decisions, and effects and the criterion…

Substantial emphasis has been placed on Florida Extension faculty evaluating their educational programs for impact and the utilization of these data for program accountability, yet little is known of the extent to which the faculty have accepted this responsibility. In order to assess the stage of adoption of impact evaluation as a practice, and…
