Crowdsourcing is an emerging web-enabled method to gain external expertise and ideas on tasks or projects. Mass contributions from the crowd are the key to the success and effectiveness of crowdsourcing. University students are important potential users and promising sources of contributions in the crowdsourcing context. However, little is known…

Though e-learning and learner's perspective have been researched a lot by researchers, there is a real dearth of quality empirical research studies on adoption of massive open online courses (MOOCs) from teachers' perspective in general and in Indian scenario in particular. In addition to accomplishing these, the presented research is also unique…

Tiny and affordable computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi and Arduino) have been widely applied to technology-enhanced hands-on learning (THL). However, little scholarly attention has been devoted to the key factors behind students' performance in THL contexts. Therefore, this study not only helped the participants learn computer science through THL, but…

This study examined technological infrastructure deplored by students during lockdown amidst COVID-19 pandemic. This study explored the behavioural intention to use video conferencing tools for learning from the perspective of university students. The study adopted the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) concept. The data is…

Given the paucity of research on mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) in secondary schools in China, this retrospective case study explored the psychological processes underlying the non-voluntary MALL experiences of Chinese secondary school students during a lockdown to contain the spread of COVID-19. Drawing on prior technology acceptance…

Recent studies on the use of Intelligent Personal Assistant (IPA) for second language (L2) learning have found that IPAs such as "Amazon's Alexa" is useful and motivating for L2 learners and that learners' language proficiency might influence their perceptions toward IPAs. However, most existing studies focused on the potentials of…

This study integrated augmented reality (AR) and three-dimensional (3D) maps into mobile learning for library use instruction. To maximize the benefits of mobile library applications (MLAs), their technology acceptance was examined. Because of the e-learning context, the General Extended Technology Acceptance Model for E-Learning (GETAMEL)…

The current study examines antecedents to teachers' behavioral intentions to use smart technologies in Thailand based on the technology acceptance model. 825 primary school teachers participated in a survey consisting of 11 constructs: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards use, behavioral intention, peer influence,…

This study seeks to explore the effect of fear emotion on students' and teachers' technology adoption during COVID-19 pandemic. The study has made use of Google Meet© as an educational social platform in private higher education institutes. The data obtained from the study were analyzed by using the partial least squares structural equation…

In the last decades, universities and higher education institutes have widely employed a learning management system (LMS) to monitor and manage electronic learning and teaching. Contrary to the significant role of LMS in educational settings, most research has focused on initial acceptance, and few attempts have been made to investigate factors…

Integrating technology into the foreign language classroom has been called for in recent decades, but the in-service teachers seem reluctant to respond actively. In order to bridge the gap between policies and practices, this study aims to investigate the factors affecting in-service EFL teachers' affordances transfer behavior of ICT resources in…

This research intends to investigate factors affecting students' behavioural intentions to use a massive open online courses (MOOCs) system. Integrating the technology acceptance model (TAM) with the innovation diffusion theory (IDT), the present research proposes an extended technology acceptance model. Testing of data collected from 1148…

With the proliferation of paid mobile learning applications (m-learning apps), understanding how to assess their success has become an important issue for academics and practitioners. Based on the information systems (IS) success models and the value-based adoption model, this study developed and validated a multidimensional model for assessing…

In recent years, there has been an exponential growth of the explorations around the pedagogical use of Web 2.0 technologies in China. This study offers an alternate perspective by examining predictors of pre-service teachers' uptake of Web 2.0 technologies for teaching purposes. On the basis of prior related research focusing on the pedagogical…

The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between Chinese higher education students' epistemic beliefs and their judgmental standards of searching for literature online. Data were collected from 449 higher education students (152 college students and 297 graduate students) in Beijing via two self-reported questionnaires: one…
