The majority of educational institutes have adopted some kind of technology, especially a Learning Management System (LMS), to facilitate the ways of learning in classrooms. Indeed, the investment in technology with the expectation of fostering learning relies on students’ response toward such technology. Therefore, it is essential not only to predict students’ behavior toward a LMS but also to grasp how students make a decision to use a particular system. This chapter explores the potential factors that have the most significant influence on the adoption of LMSs in Egypt as well as the relationships between these factors. The proposed model extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to include self-efficacy and system quality, with the expectation that they significantly shape the use of LMS. The data shows that most of the causal relationships between technology acceptance factors are well supported. The results also indicate that the system quality has a direct effect on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. One interesting observation is the strong influence of perceived ease of use on LMS usage, much stronger than the influence of perceived usefulness on the use of LMS.

Mobile health (mHealth) services have recently been receiving increasing attention. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how users accept and adopt mobile medical treatment (MMT) services, some of the most promising mHealth services that aim to extend the patient–physician relationship beyond the conventional clinic environment. To fill this research gap, this study proposes a research model for predicting consumers’ acceptance behavior toward MMT services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A survey was conducted among 303 Chinese MMT service users to evaluate the proposed model and relevant hypotheses using partial least squares. Several key findings were summarized from the results: (1) the attitude toward using MMT, technology anxiety, and trust are significantly associated with users’ behavioral intention to use MMT services; (2) the perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust significantly influence users’ attitude toward using MMT services; (3) the perceived interactivity, perceived personalization, and privacy concerns have significant impacts on users’ perceptions of ease of use, usefulness, and trust toward MMT services. The current findings have both theoretical and practical implications that may guide practitioners and researchers to better understand consumers’ acceptance of MMT services.

<span>In recent years, instructors have had an increasing interest in integrating Internet based technologies into their classroom as part of the learning environment. Compared to studies on other information systems, student users' behaviour towards e-portfolios have not been assessed and thoroughly understood. This paper analyses the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in order to examine students' behavioural intention to use an electronic portfolio system, meaning how students use and appropriate it within the specific framework of a course. An E-Portfolio Usage Questionnaire was developed using existing scales from prior TAM instruments and modified where appropriate. Seventy-two participants completed the survey questionnaire measuring their responses to perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), attitudes towards usage (ATU) and behavioural intention to use (BIU) the e-portfolio system. The results of the study indicated that students' perceived ease of use (PEOU) had a significant influence on attitude towards usage (ATU). Subsequently, perceived ease of use (PEOU) had the strongest significant influence on perceived usefulness (PU). The research further demonstrated that individual characteristics and technological factors may have a significant influence on instructors to adopt e-portfolio into their courses. Results suggest that TAM is a solid theoretical model where its validity can extend to an e-portfolio context.</span>

This study’s purpose was to establish a predictive model of the intention to accept Taekwondo electronic protector devices through the application of the technology acceptance model. Two hundred and twenty collegiate Taekwondo practitioners affiliated with the Korea Taekwondo Association participated in a survey that included 28 questions (4 relating to demographic characteristics, 12 to precursor variables, and 12 to the technology acceptance model). Correlation and structural equation modeling analyses were applied and a significance level of 0.05 was used. The results were as follows. Perceived quality had a significant influence on perceived ease of use (β = 0.380, t = 3.481, p < 0.001) and perceived usefulness (β = 0.544, t = 5.098, p < 0.001). Visual attractiveness had no significant influence on either perceived ease of use (β = 0.159, t = 1.798, p = 0.072) or perceived usefulness (β = −0.010, t = −0.131, p = 0.896). Wearability had a significant influence on perceived ease of use (β = 0.234, t = 2.867, p < 0.01), but a significantly negative influence on perceived usefulness (β = −0.218, t = −2.932, p < 0.01). Functionality had no significant influence on either perceived ease of use (β = 0.116, t = 1.031, p = 0.302) or perceived usefulness (β = 0.107, t = 1.093, p = 0.274). Perceived ease of use had a significant influence on perceived usefulness (β = 0.418, t = 4.361, p < 0.001) and acceptance intention (β = 0.361, t = 4.031, p < 0.001). Perceived usefulness had a significant influence on acceptance intention (β = 0.525, t = 5.758, p < 0.001). These results suggest that improving the perceived quality and wearability of the devices will enhance their acceptance. We believe that this study provides an appropriate verification model for the intention to accept Taekwondo electronic protection devices.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor yang memengaruhi penggunaan elearning.umn.ac.id pada mahasiswa melalui kerangka Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Terdapat lima konstruk asli dari TAM yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, antara lain persepsi kegunaan (PU), persepsi kemudahan penggunaan (PEOU), sikap terhadap penggunaan (ATU), minat perilaku (BI), dan penggunaan senyatanya (AU). Terdapat pula tiga konstruk eksternal yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, antara lain keyakinan individu (SE), aksesibilitas sistem (SA), dan kualitas sistem (SQ). Hasil yang didapatkan pada penelitian ini menemukan tingkat penerimaan dan penggunaan e-learning UMN pada mahasiswa dengan menggunakan faktor internal (perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward using, behavioral intention, actual use) dan faktor eksternal (self-efficacy, system accessibility, system quality) TAM sudah tinggi. Perceived ease of use tidak memiliki hubungan apapun terhadap faktor-faktor yang lain, sehingga apabila faktor perceived ease of use ditingkatkan maka tidak akan terjadi pengaruh apapun terhadap actual use, meskipun didukung dengan faktor system accessibility. Adapun pengaruh positif signifikan yang dimiliki semua pasangan variabel memiliki sifat pengurangan nilai, sehingga jika sebuah faktor independen memiliki peningkatan skor sebanyak n, maka faktor dependen yang memiliki hubungan terhadap variabel independen tersebut ikut mengalami peningkatan skor namun mengalami penurunan nilai dengan besar n sejumlah dengan nilai koefisien total pengaruh yang dimilikinya.
