“…This is in line with the findings of Jonas and Norman [6], that students constantly juggled the many demands imposed upon them from school, employment and family. They tended to only use enriching resources if they were convinced of their usefulness, for example, because the resources helped them learn the material and helped them prepare for examinations, or helped them save time.…”

The web offers a lot of resources that might be useful in higher education. This paper describes the experiences with a course that offers a lot of links to web resources. These resources are meant as enriching existing content and are announced as optional. The context is distance education. Through a survey we gained insight into the actual use of the web resources and in the appreciation of the different types of resources. Findings indicate that students differed greatly in their actual use of resources and also in their preferences. Many students preferred resources that could make them study efficiently, such as videos with summaries of subject matter or explanations of hard topics. Students benefitted from links to web resources that go together with relevant information about the resource, in order to be able to make sensible decisions whether to access a resource or not.

“…It provides information on using Internet-based teaching platforms. Shen & Chuang [6] investigate the effects of the interactivity level of users toward the use of interactive whiteboard while Jonas & Norman [4] evaluate usage behavior of textbook website by students in an accounting course using TAM. The model advised that when users are presented with a new technology, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness are the factors that influence their decision about how and when they will use it.…”

This research aims to explore the perceptions of students in using learning management system (LMS) in order to enhance the learning process of students. The research also identifies issues that students faced when using LMS in order to improve the ease of use of LMS. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is used as the theoretical framework to explain the adoption of LMS in term of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Respondents agree that LMS is easy to use and useful to them as a repository. However, results indicate that there is a lack of interaction among lecturers and peers.

“…Several VAS questions were based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which posits that usage of technology is influenced by perceived usefulness and ease of use (Chuttur, 2009;Marangunić and Granić, 2015;Zacharis, 2012). Although several items are usually used to measure each construct of perceived usefulness and ease of use, each has high internal consistency (Legris et al, 2003); therefore, in the present study, single survey items were used for these constructs, an approach supported by other studies (Jonas and Norman, 2011).…”

Biographical Details:Soonja Yeom, is a Lecturer in School of Engineering and ICT. She teaches computer security and programming for the internet. Currently she is a PhD candidate with a thesis titled 'Undergraduate student acceptance of haptic simulation in gross anatomy learning'. Her research interests include technology-enhanced learning, human computer interface, and computer security.Derek Choi-Lundberg, PhD, is Senior Lecturer in Anatomy, School of Medicine, University of Tasmania. He teaches gross anatomy, neuroanatomy and embryology to first to third year medical students, and coordinates year 1, semester 2 of the MBBS course. His research interests include medical and anatomical sciences education, technology-enhanced learning, assessment, near-peer and reciprocal peer teaching & learning, and student learning approaches in anatomy.Andrew Fluck, PhD, is a Senior Lecturer in Information Technology and teacher educator at the University of Tasmania. He has an interest in curriculum transformation through the use of computers; developed an eExam system for students to use their own computers in high stakes assessment; and serves on the executive of Working Group 3.3 (research into educational applications of information technologies) for IFIP/UNESCO. See more at http://andrew.fluck.id.au/.Arthur Sale, PhD, is Emeritus Professor of Computer Science at the University of Tasmania. He has lectured on many aspects of ICT over a career of 55 years including human-computer interfaces, served as Chairman of the University's Professorial Board, as Pro Vice-Chancellor and was for 20 years head of the ICT department. He has published over 90 papers, many book chapters and two books. His primary research interests lie in computer design, programming languages, and the effects of the Internet on society.3 Abstract:Purpose -This research evaluates factors influencing undergraduate students' acceptance of a computer-aided learning (CAL) resource using the Phantom Omni haptic stylus to enable rotation, touch and kinaesthetic feedback, and display of names of three-dimensional (3D) human anatomical structures on a visual display. Design/methodology/approach -Software was developed using the software development life cycle, and was tested by students enrolled in various bachelor degrees at three stages of development within Technology Acceptance Model, action research and design research methodology frameworks, using mixed methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Findings -The learning system was generally well-accepted, with usefulness (72 ± 18, mean ± standard deviation, 0-100 visual analogue scale) rated higher (p<0.001) than ease of use (57 ± 22). Ease of use ratings declined across the three versions as modules were added and complexity increased. Students with prior experience with 3D interfaces had higher intention to use the system, and scored higher on identification of anatomical structures. Students with greater kinaesthetic learning preferences tended to rate the system higher. Haptic feedback was consi...
