Method Approach

Technology acceptance is about how people accept andadopt some technology to use. The primary target ofmany technology acceptance studies is to examine how toencourage usage and also analyze what interruptsacceptance and usage of technologies. Using the mixedmethod approach, the quantitative phase shows that, theperceived usefulness (PE) is significant with p-value(.023) and the perceived ease of use (EE) is significantwith p-value (.001). These results shows that the intentionto accept and use ICT by the academic staff is a functionof various concepts including the understanding that ICTis useful and it is not difficult to use. However thequalitative phase shows that it is true that theacademicians intent to use ICT but the conditions andenvironment are not encouraging, classrooms are poorlydesigned. No regular power supply, no ICT facilities onground and poor internet connectivity. The mixed methodapproach has given the true picture of the acceptance andusage of ICT in Nigerian public university. Thequantitative phase shows the constructs that havesignificant influence on acceptance and use of ICT, whilethe qualitative phase interprets the in-depth meaning ofthe statistical results and the environmental challengesthat most be tackled to realize the full vision.

Acceptance Model

The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) (Davis, 1989) measures perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as predictors of a user’s intent to use computer technology, and their actual usage on the job. The measure first appeared in 1989, in an MIS Quarterly article by Fred Davis and in a coauthored article in Management Science(Davis, 1989; Davis, Bagozzi, & Warshaw, 1989). Extending the Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980) to technology, Perceived usefulness (U) is defined as “the degree to which a person believes a particular system would enhance his or her job performance.” Perceived ease of use (EOU) is defined as “the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would be free of effort.” ‘Usage intentions’ (BI) was measured through self-predicted future usage and ‘user acceptance’ was measured through self-reported current usage. Although information technology is adopted to improve employee performance, these gains are often lost or diminished by users’ unwilling to accept and use the information system. Davis wanted to understand why users rejected or accepted information technologies, to better predict, explain and increase user acceptance. The TAM model has since become one of the most established models for predicting user acceptance.

Purpose The use of learning management systems (LMSs) such as Google Classroom has increased significantly in higher education institutes during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, only a few studies have investigated instructors’ continued intention to reuse LMS. The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors that influence instructors’ intention to reuse an LMS in higher education institutes. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a mixed-method research design. In the quantitative section, an integrated model of technology acceptance model and information system success model is proposed to explore the effects of system quality, service quality, information quality, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on instructors’ satisfaction and how their satisfaction will influence their intention to reuse Google Classroom in the future. In the qualitative section, to gain more understanding, instructors were asked to identify the challenges that inhibit the adoption of e-Learning technologies in public universities in Iraq and what are their recommendations to rectify them. Findings The findings revealed that service quality had no positive influences on the satisfaction of instructors, while other factors had varying levels of influence, the findings further showed that inadequate internet service and students lack of interest are the biggest challenges instructors faced during their experience with Google Classroom. Research limitations/implications To improve the generalizability of the results, future studies are recommended to include larger samples, in addition, further studies are also advised to take individual traits such as age and gender into consideration. Originality/value The outcomes of this study are expected to benefit researchers, policymakers and LMS developers who are interested in factors that affect instructors’ intention to reuse LMS in higher education institutes in developing countries.

Abstract Introduction An ageing society in this period of technological development may benefit from having service robots assist them in daily tasks. To that end, service robots that are equipped with soft grippers have the potential to handle the unstructured nature of objects such as eye-glasses and cutlery at homes. Drawing from Technology Acceptance Model, this paper aims to analyse technology adoption of a “soft service robot” for object retrieval tasks among older adults. Method A video demonstrating the operational functions of an in-house developed soft service robot was shown to 30 participants aged 60 and above. The video shows that the soft service robot can be remotely controlled through the internet to move around and pick up various household objects delicately. The soft service robot also enables users to interact with another individual through an integrated tablet. Thirty participants completed a survey measuring perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude towards the soft service robot and behavioural intention using seven-point Likert scales. Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the hypothesized model. Results Our study showed that the behavioral intention of older adults was jointly determined by the perceived usefulness (β=0.401; p-value&lt; 0.01) and the attitude of the older adults towards the soft service robot (β=0.530; p-value&lt;0.01). Interestingly, this study found a non-significant perceived ease of use-intention relationship (β=-0.167; p-value&gt;0.05) in the model. Conclusion Our findings indicated that making a soft service robot easier-to-use has little or no impact on the formation of intentions. Essentially, a soft service robot that is perceived to be useful will be accepted by older adults. From a practical standpoint, it is of significant importance for service robotics designer and developers to build soft service robot with useful functions to enhance greater adoption of such technology among older adults.

Information Technology is so widespread and moving at such a rapid speed that it has influenced the education sector at a fast and pressurised pace. This influence has placed focus on the new terminology education technology and blended learning. In order to introduce and implement education technology, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) worldwide have been introducing Learning Management Systems (LMSs) to support the charges in pedagogy to improve the collaboration learners themselves and between learners and educators. The implementation of LMSs at South African HEIs are still lagging behind in comparison to first world countries. Nonetheless, changes and advances in education technology have been taking place. These changes have to some degree brought about resistance towards the use of technology (software) to change teaching technique. Mixed methods research (quantitative and qualitative) was used to conduct a case study analysis at the Durban University of Technology (the case of DUT academic staff using a LMS). The case study allowed the analysis of perceived ease of use (PEOU) of LMSs at this HEI. The perceptions of the academic staff was analysed by executing a survey and by conducting interviews. The study identified additional factors that have a significant influence on PEOU on the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM) (Venkatesh and Bala 2008). Literature, information from the interviews and the themes that emerged from the qualitative results was used to propose a theoretical tiered pedagogical framework that could be adopted by other HEIs planning to adopt a LMS.
