“…That is why the perceived ease of use of technology influences its use's intention (DAVIS, 1989;KEEN et al, 2004;KING;HE, 2005). This behavior is also present among older adults (PHANG et al, 2006;BRAUN, 2013;ALEXANDRAKIS;CHORIANOPOULOS;TSELIOS, 2020). Therefore, H4: Perceived ease of use of social media relates positively to the behavioral intention to use them by senior citizens.…”

Although social media usage grows every day, we do not know with certainty the use that the senior citizens give to them, nor the factors that influence its use. This research is intended to apply an adaptation of the technology acceptance model (TAM) in elderly citizens to assess what influences their actual use of social media if they indeed use it. For this purpose, 300 adults over 60 participated in Cuenca, Ecuador. Through a survey we tried to find out the perceived usefulness, the perceived ease of use, the attitude toward using social networks, the behavioral intention to use social media, and the actual usage that elderly give to social media. The findings of the study show that the perceived ease of use does not influence the behavioral intention to use social media by the elderly, but rather it is the perceived usefulness of the network and its contents what have a positive and significant effect on social media usage by senior citizens.

“…As a result, digital storytelling is both cultural activity and a media style. It is a living web of links between literary and symbolic notions, technological advancements, and collaborative social activities (Alexandrakis, Chorianopoulos, and Tselios 2020). Digital storytelling as a movement is designed to enrich the everyday voice (Balaman 2018).…”

“…Digital storytelling entails the finished product and the method of narrative and conception. In other words, digital storytelling is a workshop-based method in which participants are taught how to create audio-video tales about themselves using digitalized media sources (Alexandrakis, Chorianopoulos, and Tselios 2020). Most of the academic study on digital storytelling has focused on its ability to bring the voices of ordinary people and persecuted groups into the public eye.…”

“…Isolation, a lack of opportunity, individual moods, future aspirational ambitions, and cultural identity are just some of the challenges digital stories address (Alexandrakis, Chorianopoulos, and Tselios 2020). As a result, digital storytelling has a considerable impact on the role of marginalized groups, where age and gender are important factors to consider.…”

Storytelling constitutes the use of narrative and facts in order to express a topic of interest or concern to an audience. To produce and share stories with the appropriate audience, digital storytelling uses information technology. The position of underrepresented people and groups, such as women and African-Americans, is influenced significantly by storytelling. Storytelling, also known as narratives, has a long history in African-American culture, with African-Americans using narratives to share their life stories and folktales as a form of entertainment. The purpose of this essay is to examine several aspects of storytelling in the context of digitalization, with a focus on age and gender. The study responded to research questions regarding narratives and storytelling and by this storytelling aided in restoring identity among traditionally disadvantaged and marginalized communities and groups. In using digital storytelling, people were taught how to utilize digital media tools to create video narratives about themselves and their experiences.

“…It has been utilised in many studies since 1980 such as application tests for smartphones (Zhang and Adipat, 2005;Ji et al, 2006;Aryana and Clemmensen, 2013), finding factors that affect product life cycle (Jin et al, 2013), mobile trade (Zhou and Lu, 2011a;Türker ve Türker, 2013;Seyhun ve Kurtuldu, 2020), evaluating services by mobile service providers (Zhou and Lu, 2011b), internet banking (Doğan vd., 2015), mobile payment (Bozpolat ve Seyhan, 2020), cloud computing (Hamutoğlu, 2018), acceptance levels of virtual reality technologies (Lin and Yeh, 2019;Sagnier et al, 2020), internet-based learning applications (Zaharias and Poylymenakou, 2009;Menzi et. al., 2012), user perceptions towards health information and communication applications (Asan and Carayon, 2017;Vassli and Farshchian, 2018), autonomous tools (Hegner et al, 2019), digital storytelling (Alexandrakis et al, 2020), online learning (Kurt, 2015;Kim et al, 2020). Therefore, The TAM allows useful structure and research in analysing factors affecting technology users' perceptions in different fields of research (Handy et al, 2001, p.104).…”

The aim of this study is to determine academics’ user resistance to distance learning, their perceptions of the distance learning systems and factors affecting their perceptions of the changes in the education system during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study’s population consists of 440 academics working in 43 different universities in Turkey. The research sample were determined through convenience and snowball sampling methods. The data were collected using an online questionnaire form created within Google Forms. After validity and reliability analyses on the data, eight different hypotheses were tested using structural equation analysis. All eight hypotheses proposed within the study were accepted after receiving the results of this analysis. The results of the study show that user resistance has a significantly negative effect on the users that utilise distance learning. However, the perceived ease of use and usefulness have a significantly positive effect on attitude and behavior.
