<p align="left"> </p><p>This study investigates online students’ acceptance of mobile learning and its influence on learning achievement using an information system success and extended technology acceptance model (TAM). Structural equation modeling was used to test the structure of individual, social, and systemic factors influencing mobile learning’s acceptance, and how said acceptance influences learning satisfaction and achievement. Unlike earlier TAM-related research that did not provide a broad view of technological acceptance and its impact on learning activities, the present study’s results highlight the relationship between behavioral intention/learning satisfaction and learning achievement. Additionally, this study tests the theoretical model of successful mobile learning by empirically accepting mobile learning management systems. The findings further imply that students at online universities have started to accept mobile technology as a new learning tool; consequently, its acceptance has influenced their learning achievement both directly and indirectly. These discoveries should facilitate a better understanding of students’ usage of mobile learning systems in higher education, and provide timely guidance for its development and implementation.</p>

BACKGROUND This paper investigates the use of mobile learning platforms for learning purposes among university students in UAE. An extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and theory of planned behavior (TPB) are proposed to analyze the adoption of mobile learning platforms by university students for accessing course materials, searching the web for information related to their discipline, sharing knowledge, conducting assignments during COVID-19 pandemic. The total number of questionnaires collected was 1880 form different universities. Partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and machine learning algorithms (ML) were utilized to investigate the research model based on the student’s data gathered through a survey. According to the results, each hypothesized relationship within the research model has been supported by the data analysis methods. It should also be noted that the J48 classifier mostly had the upper hand on other classifiers when it comes to the prediction of the dependent variable. As per the indication of our research, teaching and learning can greatly benefit from the adoption of machine learning as an educational tool at the time of this pandemic; nevertheless, its significance could be lowered because of the emotion of fear concerning poor grades, stressful family circumstances, and loss of friends. Accordingly, this issue can only be solved by evaluating the emotions of students during this pandemic. OBJECTIVE This study is one of the earliest attempt to: (1) theoretically integrate the notion of fear within a hybrid model of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) & Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) (2) empirically test the effect of COVID-19 on the users of mobile application, and (3) explore the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on users' ability to use the mobile application easily and users' attitude towards the usefulness of mobile learning platform. METHODS The developed theoretical model has been evaluated using two different techniques in this research. The first one involves the usage of the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) alongside the SmartPLS tool. This research uses PLS-SEM mainly because both the structural and measurement model can be concurrently analyzed through PLS-SEM, which increases the preciseness of results. As for the second technique, the research predicts the dependent variables entailing the conceptual model with the help of machine learning algorithms via Weka. RESULTS The present research has implemented a model that would be useful for future studies to be conducted since it helps assess the COVID-19 influence at the time of the pandemic period. Keeping the research results in mind, and the fear factor present during the period, the ML is considered to be a significantly useful tool which helps reduce the fear present within the peers and instructors. Similarly, the perceived fear (PF) highly affects the PU and PEU. According to the responses, during the pandemic period, the PF is quite evident; however, the ML maintains a high PU and PEU degree, which reduces the fear factor and encourages the students to participate in their scheduled class. CONCLUSIONS The current research results are similar to the ones presented in earlier research studies related to the TAM and TPB variable’s importance (Ajzen, 1985; F. D Davis, 1989; Teo, 2012; V Venkatesh & Bala, 2008). It is observed that the students are much more acceptable towards technology is there is nothing but the ML technology available as the tool for learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The PU and PEU related results are also similar to the ones of the earlier PU and PEU related results that influence the student acceptance of ML. Hence, it should be considered as an indicator for the students intention to make use of the ML when the environment is infected with COVID-19. Furthermore, PU is highly affected by PEU, which indicates that if it is easy to use the technology, then it would be considered useful.

Smart home services (SHSs) afford users an effective lifestyle management system, which provides human-oriented networking of smart devices and applications that enable users to control their homes from anywhere at any time. Despite the benefits of SHSs, however, their acceptance is very low. There remains a gap in the literature in terms of a comprehensive model that addresses users’ intention to use SHSs. To address this gap, the present study explored the factors that influence SHS acceptance among users based on well-established theoretical frameworks, such as the technology acceptance model, innovation diffusion theory, and the theory of planned behavior. To this end, the study integrated four additional factors, namely, perceived convenience, perceived connectedness, perceived cost, and perceived privacy risk, into the exploration and carried out structural equation modeling to quantitatively determine the effects of these factors. Questionnaires were administered to 750 users. The findings indicated that perceived compatibility, perceived convenience, perceived connectedness, perceived cost, perceived behavioral control with perceived usefulness, and perceived ease of use directly and indirectly exerted a significant influence on users’ intention to use SHSs.

Despite the significant increase in telemedicine services technology, its adoption and use have been quite slow in some healthcare settings. It is generally accepted in today’s globalizing world that the success of telemedicine services relies on users’ satisfaction. Satisfying physicians and patients is one of the crucial objectives of telemedicine success. This study seeks to evaluate physicians’ satisfaction with telemedicine services adoption and utilization using the technology acceptance model. A structured questionnaire based on the construct of technology acceptance model was used to solicit for data from participants in four different government health institutions. Purposive and convenience sampling techniques were employed to select healthcare professionals from various medical fields. Structural equation modeling was utilized in the data analysis. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of telemedicine services were found to influence physicians’ behavioral intentions. This resulted in increased efficiency, quality of services, quality patient care delivery, and satisfaction among physicians in using telemedicine services. We noted that the adoption of telemedicine services in clinical settings depends on physicians’ and patients’ satisfaction with the use of the service. The study contributes to empirical knowledge by identifying the vital predictive factors affecting telemedicine services satisfaction among physicians.

The ubiquitous application of smartphones and their advanced development have created an opportunity for using them as coding platforms. In this study, we compared between the use of personal computers (PCs) and smartphones to investigate the factors affecting the use of smartphones in programing. The behavioral intentions of smartphone end-users are inspired by the ease of use perception, enjoyment perception, programing anxiety, perception of external control, and smartphone design aesthetics. Although the [Formula: see text] value of the smartphone model was lower than that of the PC model, the end-users’ adoption decisions could have shifted toward accepting the use of smartphones for programing had their decisions been free of enforcement. In this study, design aesthetics and programing anxiety were introduced to Technology Acceptance Model 3 in an Arabic environment. Additionally, the model was creatively applied for guiding practitioners in two situations. First, when organizations are in the quest for emerging technology to replace the legacy technology, they might apply the presented side-by-side comparison of the use of PCs with that of smartphones in programing. Second, at a time when decision makers analyze what might hinder the adoption of a recently introduced technology, the model can be a successful hand tool guiding the top management in identifying technology acceptance interventions, an approach this research revealed. Furthermore, in this paper, the research implications and recommendations are presented for technology practitioners and designers.

The automotive industry today faces three major transitions: the emergence of autonomous driving, electric powertrain replacing the internal combustion engine, and changes in possession of automobiles, e.g., increased usage of car sharing. As all three transitions are fostered by technologies that drive digital transformation of automobiles, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) by Davis represents the underlying research model of this paper. Hypotheses are developed and tested for a sample of 1177 participants using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Group differences are investigated for three markets: Europe, North America, and China. The paper confirms the underlying assumptions of the Technology Acceptance Model in the context of automobiles. Further, it illustrates influential societal norms and individual experiences for technology acceptance. In addition, compound effects for technology acceptance are found, e.g., the perceived enjoyment of electric driving affects the acceptance of autonomous driving and car possession behavior. The novel approach to integrate three different technologies within the Technology Acceptance Model requires unifying items to a level which makes them comparable, limiting the results for each individual technology. For practice, automotive manufacturers obtain advice on how to foster technology acceptance. For society, the paper uncovers the role of societal norms for technology acceptance in the context of automobiles. Policy makers can obtain insights on how to successfully increase technology acceptance, e.g., for environmental purposes. Conclusively, the paper applies the Technology Acceptance Model for three developments in the context of automobiles, thereby extending current research using the Technology Acceptance Model.
