This paper examines the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in relation to its implication for academic libraries in the 21st century. It sheds light on how technological development has had major impacts in the academic library, with regards to how information is being constructed, transmitted and accessed by library users. In the course of this discourse it was deduced that students constitute a significant percentage of the academic library users. The technological development in the academic sphere has enabled ubiquitous interactions between students and teachers, in which students are enabled to learn and communicate with their teachers from remote locations, thus inducing the notion of VLE. The VLE is regarded as technological-based environment where learners are enabled to access learning outside the classroom. With the aid of VLE students are granted ownership of their learning process, thus ensuring positive learning outcomes. Finally, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was employed to serve as the theoretical basis of this discourse.

This quantitative case study used Venkatesh and Davis’ (2000) technology acceptance model (TAM) to understand EFL student attitudes towards using a virtual learning environment (VLE). The study surveyed 97 undergraduate students enrolled in a required English writing course. The study employed factor reduction to group the variables into the TAM. A standard multiple regression was then performed to determine the effect the variables had on the model. It was found that the perceived ease of use (EoU), output quality (OQ), and results demonstrability (RD) had a positive statistical effect on the perceived usefulness (PU). The subjective norm (SN), EoU, and PU also had a positive statistical effect on the students' intention to use (IU) the VLE for writing. The final standardized regression found a positive statistical effect from IU towards the students' usage behavior (UB). The overall results showed that the more positive a student's EoU, OQ, RD, SN, PU, and IU, the more likely a student will use and accept the VLE for writing. This usage should also help students improve their language level as well as build 4th industrial revolution skills. Teachers should consider the use of VLEs to teach or supplement EFL writing in the future.

Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is rapidly becoming an important educational model for teaching and learning purposes. This study aims to explore the factors that influence the use and acceptance of VLE among Malaysian accounting teachers in teaching the accounting subject. This study adapts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) to improve the understanding of factors that influence the usage of VLE.  The study is descriptive in nature and was conducted using a quantitative approach.Researchrespondentswho participated in this studyconsist of 156accounting teachers from urban and ruralMalaysiangovernment schools. Data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis to measure mean, percentages, frequency and standard deviations. Descriptive statistical analysis indicated that accounting teachers have positive perceptions and highly motivated towards using VLE tools in teaching and learning accounting.However, the frequency of using Frog VLE among teachers is still at a low level. Furthermore, the result shows thatcomplete infrastructure facilities and teachers’ interests have a significant effect on the use and acceptance of Frog VLE. It is concluded that teachers are able to conduct flexible teaching and learning using Frog VLE application if resources are available, appropriate technology and continuous supports are providedby all parties responsible for the integration of ICT in teaching and learning accounting. More importantly, teachers need to be given ongoing training and motivation to promote and improve their skills to use the latest technology toencourage effective educational processes.

The current trend of education is towards the implementation of technology in teaching in order to attract the attention of 21st century learners whereby teachers need to adopt technology-enhanced environment such as the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in their teaching. This study aims to investigate the teachers’ perceptions and tendency to use VLE as a tool for teaching. The teachers’ perceptions were investigated based on the main constructs of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The respondents were 178 teachers in southern state of Malaysia. The data were collected using a questionnaire and it is validated through the use of Rasch model. The finding was found that the teachers were moderately ready to use VLE and they moderately accepted the implementation of the VLE (mean=3.67 and 3.65). Besides that, the teachers felt that the VLE was useful (mean=3.58) and was easy to use (mean=3.34). It was also found that 84.2% of the teachers’ acceptance was influenced by the teachers’ readiness, and the teachers’ perceptions of the usefulness and ease of using the VLE in teaching. Therefore, it can be concluded that Malaysian teachers has intention to use VLE in their teaching. The use of VLE can improve the innovative way of teaching that can increase students’ interest in constructing knowledge through their learning process.

The proliferation of technology in various areas in our society can be compare to flowing water that supplies energy to each part of its system. In the field of education, technology pours its strength not only to the process of teaching and learning but also to the continuous improvement of delivery of education. Unfortunately, not all academic institutions are enjoying the benefits provided by technological innovations in education. Various academic institutions have been suffering for several years since the advent of technological innovations in education. Poor academic institutions are far left behind in this educational innovation. This study presented the development of Bricolage Approach of teaching using four types of ICT sustainability. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of Davis (1989) was adapted in this study using a customized blended learning environment tool to gauge the students’ acceptability of the Bricolage Approach of Teaching in a blended learning environment. The findings of the study resulted to the increase of students’ knowledge in e-learning tool. Furthermore, result demonstrated concrete evidence of students’ favorable acceptability of Bricolage Approach of teaching in a blended learning environment using TAM’s factor perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards usage and behavior intention to use.   Keywords: Bricolage approach; Bricola; Blended learning; Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

Elderly diabetic patients in developed countries have been widely using digital health wearables for many years to manage their diabetes-related health data accurately. To encourage the increased adoption of digital health wearables among elderly diabetic patients in a developing country, Bangladesh, this study investigated the factors that influenced the existing elderly users’ continuance intention to use this technology. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been used here as a theoretical basis. A model using structural equation modelling was developed for the elderly diabetic patients’ continuance intention to use digital health wearables. Survey-based data were collected in Bangladesh from 223 diabetic patients aged sixty years and older. This study found that all six constructs, namely, perceived usefulness (β = 0.183), perceived ease of use (β = 0.165), perceived irreplaceability (β = 0.138), perceived credibility (β = 0.165), compatibility (β = 0.285) and social influence (β = 0.226) had a positive influence on elderly diabetic patients’ continuance intention to use digital health wearables. Along with the theoretical contributions, the findings of this study can be used by developers of digital health wearables, manufacturers, marketers and health practitioners in developing better strategies to increase the elderly diabetic patients’ continuance intention to use this technology.
