“…In addition, students with high self-perceived IT competency used more mobile access to Moodle for interaction and collaboration activities. These seem to comply with many studies where experience and IT competency are positively associated with technology usage [9,14,24,26].…”

The use of learning management systems (LMS) has grown considerably in universities around the world. LMSs can offer a great variety of channels and workspaces to facilitate information sharing and communication among participants in a course. One of the most commonly used is Moodle, a free learning management system enabling the creation of powerful, flexible and engaging online courses and experiences. A course can consist of a number of lessons. Each lesson consists of reading materials; activities such as quizzes, tests, surveys, and projects; and social elements that encourage interaction and group work among students. This study investigated how often students used a mobile phone to access various activities on Moodle. The students' point of view is important since they are the main users of the offered teaching technique and can cooperate in implementing and improving an e-course as a very important stakeholder in the e-learning process. A survey on self-reported usage was filled by 122 university students in a course offered by the faculty of Preschool Education at the University of Crete. Follow-up interviews were conducted to solicit students' perceptions on mobile access to Moodle and the underlying reasons. The results show significant differences in students' usage of various Moodle activities via mobile phones. Students' responses also suggest that Moodle is used merely as an electronic document repository and not as an effective learning tool due to the limitations of mobile access on usability and reliability.

“…Instead, there is a relationship between basic and advanced tablet skills and students' intention to adopt mobile learning in the teaching of the natural sciences. This indicates that pre-service teachers' intentions to adopt new technology are not always supported by a minimum skill level in another technology tool (Li et al, 2016;Sugar et al, 2004). This finding also underscores the importance of teachers continually developing their ICT skills so that they can adopt and integrate new technologies into teaching.…”

Mobile technology is one of the dominating trends of educational applications for new technologies. Adapting smart mobile devices to teach the natural sciences in preschool education depends to a great extent, on whether the kindergarten teachers themselves believe that smart mobile devices contribute positively to their teaching methods. The current study uses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine how the skills of preservice kindergarten teachers' in ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) and their attitude towards the use of mobile devices affect their willingness to use smart mobile devices to teach natural sciences in kindergarten. The survey participants comprised 75 students from a Greek university, and several constructs related to technology acceptance were measured. As there are many ICT tools that teachers can use to support teaching and learning, the results indicate that the pre-service teachers' attitude toward the usefulness of mobile learning in the teaching process has the strongest influence on their intention to adopt mobile learning followed equally by perceived ease of use.

“…The concept of IATV includes but not limited to the attitudes of users towards the use of technology in education, pedagogical values and self-efficacy (Celik & Yesilyurt, 2013). Li, Li, & Franklin (2016) analyzed four aspects of IATV including technology self-efficacy (TS), attitudes toward technology (ATT), perceived ease of use of technology (PEUT), and perceived barriers of technology adoption (PBTA). Their results indicated that TS, ATT, and PEUT were significant in predicting IATV, whereas PBTA was found insignificant to predict IATV.…”

The deadly effect of Covid-19 has changed the world dramatically. The education sector is one of the worst sufferers due to the official closures of educational institutions worldwide. The government of Bangladesh has declared all the on-campus activities shut in March 2020. This paper explains the effect of faculty and student readiness in adopting virtual classes considering the mediating effect of technology adoption intention. Teachers and students from private and public universities in Bangladesh are surveyed for this research. The findings revealed that the private universities are well ahead of providing online education as their faculty and students are ready with logistics and mindset to adopt technology-based virtual learning while the public university stakeholders are yet to initiate it. It is concluded that the lack of readiness of public universities will create a massive gap between public and private university education and rural and urban students as well. The proposed model of this research can help the policymakers and the government in formulating policy guidelines for bringing all the students and teachers on virtual education platforms irrespective of their university affiliations.
