Many technology acceptance models used in education were originally designed for general technologies and later adopted by education researchers. This study extends Davis' technology acceptance model to specifically evaluate educational technologies in higher education, focusing on virtual classrooms. Prior research informed the construction of…

This research evaluates a novel, modular, open-source, and low-cost educational robotic platform in Educational Robotics and STEM Education. It is the sequel of an action research cycle on which the development of this robot is based. The impetus for the need to develop this came from the evaluation of qualitative and quantitative research data…

Flipped Learning (FL) has emerged as an essential instructional approach in tertiary education. A common misconception is that FL is highly dependent on the use of video. Educators have the choice to flip content with learning interactions such as interactive slides, a timeline of events, infographics or even image sliders. H5P is an open-source…

The purpose of the current study was to develop an appropriate model to represent the relationships among all the significant factors about information and communication technology use for university students, both with and without learning disabilities. This study was conducted in Taiwan with a sample consisting of an international array of…

e-Learning acceptance has received considerable attention in the educational technology literature. In recent years, many frameworks have been proposed, modified, and applied to better understand the factors underlying students' acceptance of e-learning. Despite the important progress made with the acceptance literature, extant empirical…

A growing number of higher education institutions have adopted tools to promote mobile learning. However, studies into the driving factors of its adoption are insufficient. This article identifies the aspects that have an effect on the adoption of mobile learning (m-learning) among university students. The theory of planned behavior (TPB) and…

This study examines the acceptance of technology and behavioral intention to use learning management systems (LMS). In specific, the aim of the research reported in this paper is to examine whether students ultimately accept LMSs such as eClass and the impact of behavioral intention on their decision to use them. An extended version of technology…

The massive open online course (MOOC) is emerging as the new paradigm for modern education. The success of MOOCs depends on learners' continued usage. Drawing upon the information systems success model (IS success model) and technology acceptance model, a theoretical model for studying learners' continuance intentions toward participation in MOOCs…

The debate about the role of attitude in the technology acceptance model (TAM) seems to have re-emerged in two prestigious journals in the field of educational technology. Among the publications on this debate, there are authors in favour of excluding the attitude of TAM, whereas others are in favour of including it. These opinions are derived…

Research in this study used the technology acceptance model (TAM) as a theoretical framework for investigating STEM students and faculty perceptions of the use of mobile applications at a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) in the southeastern part of the United States. Mobile technology applications have become very popular over the…

This article uses data survey on 82 teachers from the University of Ouagadougou and the model of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) to assess the determinants of acceptance and educational use of ICT by teachers. The paper's outcomes show that the construct "performance expectancy" of ICT (expected utility and…

Technology acceptance is posited to be influenced by a variety of factors, including individual differences, social influences, beliefs, attitudes and situational influences (Agarwal, 2000; Teo, 2009a). A majority of the conceptualisations of technology acceptance have drawn on theories and models from social psychology, notably the theory of…

This paper started with the review of the history of technology acceptance model from TRA to UTAUT. The expected contribution is to bring to lime light the current development stage of the technology acceptance model. Based on this, the paper examined the impact of UTAUT model on ICT acceptance and usage in HEIs. The UTAUT model theory was…

Social media technologies are becoming a fundamental component of education. This study extends the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to identify factors that influence the perceived advantages and relevance of Facebook as a learning tool. The proposed model is based on previous models of UTAUT. Constructs from previous…

The use of collaborative technologies in learning has received considerable attention in recent years, but few studies to date have examined the factors that affect sequential and global learners' intention to use such technologies. Previous studies have shown that the learners of different learning styles have different needs for educational…
