“…Social Influence (SI): SI is the degree to which a person considers that people around believes that the person needs to adopt technology (Venkatesh et al, 2012). Within the framework of this study, SI refers to pressure enforced by the colleagues, seniors, institutional policies that impacts an individuals' acceptance of technology in teaching practices during COVID-19 situation (such as perceived benefits of maintaining social distancing) (Saxena et al, 2021). From previous studies, it is noted that people in education sector perceive that, as per their mentors in professional lives, one should use technology in teaching and learning (Slade et al, 2015).…”

“…In the framework of online teaching and learning, both teachers and students may believe that online education system is helpful in enhancing their work performance and learning productivity (Al-Adwan et al , 2018), apart from allowing them to acquire knowledge conveniently and rapidly (Jackman, 2014). Furthermore, in the current COVID-19 situation, the pressure of keeping social distancing, chances of getting infected in the campus and taking online classes in compliance with the lockdown had entirely different repercussions on the teaching quality and learners’ satisfaction (Saxena et al , 2021). Radical transformation in the technological development during this pandemic period has generated paramount changes in education industry.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the viability of the extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model 3 (UTAUT3) model among the teachers especially during COVID-19 towards the use of technology. Design/methodology/approach An extensive primary survey has been conducted through a well-structured tool under UTAUT3 model. The survey is conducted among 450 teachers from various institutions taken for the study. The data was collected from the Northern India. The data analysis will be done through the SmartPLS software with application of structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings The results are strong for educators and policy makers. It was found that performance expectancy is positively related to the behavioural intentions among teachers. Teachers consider that usage of technology will boost their job and task performance. Practical implications This study has a very strong implications in the field of education in case or replacement of traditional teaching patterns with modern one during pandemic times. It will be effective if teachers would prioritize their work. There will be more effective teaching and learning system in future. Originality/value The study validates the constructs of UTAUT3 model in understanding teachers' behaviour and attitude towards technology acceptance. Furthermore, the study invites research from different viewpoint to investigate the role of UTAUT3 model in an individuals' behaviour and attitude towards technology acceptance.

“…They also explored the lack of personal interaction with teachers, insufficient time to responses and absence of a normal classroom. In the same line, Saxena et al (2020) revealed that distance learning is also affected by factors such as assurance, reliability, responsiveness, and website content. Some studies revealed that the quality of distance learning is lower than that of face-toface learning.…”

This study aims to identify benefits and barriers to distance education, particularly from the perspective of teachers in Saudi Arabia. As the applied data collection tool, a questionnaire was distributed to the general education teachers in three districts. The sample size of the study was 1076 teachers. The results revealed that despite several benefits gained from distance learning, there are also some barriers. Teachers found that the most important advantage in distance learning is the acquisition of technical skills during the online teaching processes, they learn more and use digital education platforms, they have sufficient time to prepare the scientific content, they were able to provide adequate technical solutions for their courses, and they have the opportunity to use multiple media to deliver their courses. With the introduction of distance learning, teachers have explored new ways to deliver course contents to students. It has fostered better ways to provide more interactive real-time and on-demand teaching and learning using modern technology, thus, helping teachers become familiar with the use of electronic resources. It seems that teachers invest in technical methods to enhance students’ performance. Also, teachers reported some obstacles that they face during remote teaching. Most of these problems are connection problems applied with devices and the internet, lack of students’ motivation to learn in distance, problems associated with urban learners.

“…On the other hand, an updated version of the popular information system success model of Delone and McLean [73] was adopted by Shahzad et al [47] in modeling the e-learning portal acceptance of universities in Malaysia. In an Indian context, Saxena et al [74] espoused e-learning quality as a predictor of learner satisfaction and adopted the SERVQUAL model to explore those factors that predict the quality of e-learning. In the case study of South Korea, Baber [75] extended TAM by incorporating instructor characteristics and student characteristics to evaluate e-learning adoption among management students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.…”

Lockdowns of various forms have prompted higher education institutions (HEIs) to suddenly shift from physical face-to-face classes to e-learning environments on an unprecedented scale in recent history. This sudden shift promotes the continuity of the teaching-learning process in HEIs despite the COVID-19 pandemic, at most on the positive side, while bringing forth challenges related to individual learners and academics. This work is based on a recently reported Values-Enhanced Technology Adoption (VETA) model, which incorporates individual values in technology acceptance modeling. Despite offering crucial insights into academics in evaluating e-learning adoption, the current literature suffers from drawbacks. Motivated by addressing these limitations, this work reevaluates the nine constructs of the VETA model using the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). Results indicate that effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, price value, habit, security, tradition, conformity, achievement, power, and hedonism constructs cause performance expectancy, behavioral intention, and social influence. The DEMATEL captures and models the causal relationships between these constructs within an analytical framework, which induces some variations of the recent empirical findings. Finally, the perception of self-achievement among academics drives the intention to adopt e-learning. The findings offered in this work are crucial to the evolving literature of COVID-19 on education, particularly in informing the design of initiatives and measures to enhance e-learning.
