“…Computer anxiety is the fear and apprehension felt by an individual when considering the implications of using computer technology (Ademola, 2009). With the increasing use of technology and overwhelming availability of technological choices, technological anxiety has become a part of our life and it has an impact on daily uses (Saadé and Kira, 2007; Nguyen, 2022).…”

Purpose The COVID-19 global pandemic reframed the argument for the importance of learning management systems (LMS) in unprecedented ways. Meanwhile, LMS users were forced to use these technologies despite the heightened anxiety compounded by the pandemic, very little technical preparation and the postpandemic learning environment that cannot depend on these pandemic-imposed regulations and adoptions. This study aims to examine the impacts of behavioral control and anxiety emotions on adoption decisions. Design/methodology/approach This quantitative research uses structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings Results showed that perceived behavioral control is very important in boosting ease of use perceptions while computer anxiety exhibited a negative impact on perceived ease of use. Research limitations/implications This research used cross-sectional data from a medium-sized university. Results must, therefore, be interpreted with this understanding in mind. Nonetheless, this research demonstrates the critical roles of control and emotions in technology adoption decisions among students in an online learning environment. Originality/value This research highlights the importance of behavioral control and anxiety emotions in technology adoption decisions. It reveals that to drive adoption, students’ control perceptions must be increased while simultaneously keeping anxiety emotions at bay. This understanding is key to communicating buy-in of LMS to students.

“…This research shows that the phenomenon of computer anxiety occurs among accounting students is consistent with the statement of Rosen and Weil (1990). Anxiety about using a computer will not increase utilization of computer use because computer knowledge has a positive relationship with computer use (Olatoye, 2009). Self-efficacy has a strong and significant relationship with computer anxiety in students (Adebowale, Adediwura, & Bada, 2009;Khorrami, 2001;Saadé & Kira, 2009) .…”

Purpose: Technology in education especially in accounting and computer learning is currently needed to support teacher performance and as a facility for students to participate in the learning process in the 21st century. This study aimed to determine whether there are differences in the performance of teachers before and after training on information technology-based learning evaluation models that use accounting applications. Design/Methodology/Approach: The process of mastering Wondershare software is carried out for economics and accounting teachers in order to enhance the quality of learning. The research design uses a true pre-and post-tests experimental design with respondents being teachers in the field of accounting learning. Findings: The results showed that there were differences before and after the training was carried out. After the training, the ability of teachers to perform the learning evaluation process improved. Conclusion: Similarly, the responses of the teachers during the training and their perceptions of using the learning evaluation application were very enthusiastic. Research Limitations and Implications: The limitation in this study is that there are many choices in using the questions in this application so not all the model questions in the application are taught. Practical Implications: The findings of this study may be used to train instructors and raise their levels of proficiency, resulting in higher-quality human development. Contribution to the Literature: The theoretical ramifications of this research include developing appropriate modelling in training and learning through the use of direct instructional applications.

“…It will interest you to note, that some student still feels intimidated when using computers, while others experience multiple levels of anxiety and, for high levels of anxiety, manifest what is known as computer anxiety (Dosanto & De-Santana, 2018). A person with computer anxiety may experience fear of the unknown, feeling of frustration, possible embarrassment, failure and disappointment which may result to avoidance towards computer usage (Olatoye, 2009). The thought that students vary in their levels of computer anxiety experienced when using electronic libraries is no more an issue or a new phenomenon (Parayitam, Desai, Desai & Eason, 2010;Shaha, Hassana & Embia, 2012).…”

The study investigated the relationship between computer anxiety and electronic library use among library and information science undergraduates in universities in Southern Nigeria. One research question guided the study while one research hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. The correlational research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 10,345 library and information science (LIS) undergraduates from ten federal, seventeen state and eight private universities in Southern Nigeria. The study adopts purposive and quota sampling technique to determine the sample size of 1, 017 used for the study. Two instruments: "Undergraduates" Computer Anxiety Questionnaire (UCAQ)" and "Undergraduates" Electronic Library Use Questionnaire (UELUQ)" were used for data collection. The overall reliability indexes for the two instruments were .90 and .89 respectively using Cronbach"s alpha. Pearson"s Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC) and simple linear regression was used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that there was a very low positive relationship between LIS undergraduates" computer anxiety and their electronic library use. The study further exemplified that there was a significant relationship f (df; 1,981) = 34.44, p<0.05 between computer anxiety and electronic library use among LIS undergraduates. However, it was recommended that LIS undergraduates should engage themselves in computer skills training regularly in order to have the needed proficiency in the different aspects of computer as this will ensure a continued and more effective utilization of electronic library resources. Also, university library management should have a wellstructured electronic library use training and retraining for LIS undergraduates regularly through seminars, workshops, conferences to acquire and improve on the needed skills towards electronic library information resources usage.
