Data analysis consisted of factor analysis according to the TAM model's two primary constructs, followed by T‐tests to determine the impact … Show more

“…Other Studies on antecedents of PU and PEOU examined, for example, top management support for the use of the technology, or the user's selfefficacy (Abbasi et al 2011;Lee and Lehto 2013). Investigated antecedents of behavioral intention or use were, for example, perceived relevance of change, or the amount of information a user has about the technology (Elwood et al 2006;Pikkarainen et al 2004). These studies have in common that the investigated antecedents described characteristics of the user, the context, or the task.…”

“…Issues related to the use of educational technologies in Higher Education have been the object of a number of scholarly investigations, many of which are based on theoretical approaches and models such as the technology acceptance model (Edmunds, Thorpe, and Conole 2012) or some extension of that model (Elwood, Changchit, and Cutshall 2006), the theory of planned behaviour (Teo 2012), the diffusion of innovation model (Soffer, Nachmias, and Ram 2010), the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework (Abbitt 2011) and structuration theory (Hardaker and Singh 2011). A common denominator to those models and approaches is that technology -or innovation -is often considered a given, which the endusers may or may not accept, or may follow various paths towards acceptance.…”

“…Their model involved an ease of use scale, which examined the convergent and discriminant validity, rather than its Perceived ease of use refers to "the degree to which an individual believes that using a particular system would be free of effort." Ease of use is thought to be a potentially important determinant of computer use [17,20]. In this study, ease of use is perceived as an important characteristic of a new IT and this characteristic highlights the effect of system features on user's acceptance.…”
