TLDR
In this article, a self-reported questionnaire was designed to examine teacher acceptance and attitude towards an online learning platform and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as the core framework for analysis while additional constructs were added in order to find a better model to understand teacher acceptance of elearning technology.Abstract:
A number of studies have indicated that the successful pedagogical use of technology depends on teachers' attitudes and acceptance towards technology. In order to predict and understand teachers' technology use and acceptance, a well‐defined framework is essential. The purpose of the present paper attempts to explore a model to understand teacher acceptance of e‐learning technology. A self‐reported questionnaire was designed to examine teacher acceptance and attitude towards an online learning platform. Data were collected from 152 in‐service teachers who were studying in a part‐time teacher education program in Hong Kong. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used as the core framework for analysis while additional constructs were added in order to find a better model to understand teacher acceptance of e‐learning technology. A composite model including five constructs, namely, intention to use, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, subjective norm and computer self‐efficacy, were formed and t...read more

Factors influencing teachers' adoption and integration of information and communication technology into teaching: A review of the literature
TL;DR: The authors reviewed personal, institutional and technological factors that encourage teachers' use of computer technology in teaching and learning processes and concluded that knowing the extent to which these barriers affect individuals and institutions may help in taking a decision on how to tackle them.

TL;DR: A quantitative meta-analysis of 107 recent e-learning acceptance studies was performed and the results show that Self-Efficacy, Subjective Norm, Enjoyment, Computer Anxiety and Experience are the most commonly used external factors of TAM.

Learners' acceptance of e-learning in South Korea: Theories and results
TL;DR: This study investigates critical factors on e-learning adoption in South Korea and proposes a research model which consists of four independent variables (instructor characteristics, teaching materials, design of learning contents, and playfulness), two belief variables (perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use), and one dependent variable (intention to use e- learning).

Investigating the influence of the most commonly used external variables of TAM on students' Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) of e-portfolios
TL;DR: Investigation of the influence of Self-Efficacy, Subjective Norm, Enjoyment, Computer Anxiety and Experience on students' Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) and Perceived Usefulness (PU) of an e-portfolio system and their Behavioural Intention (BI) to use the system for learning showed that the best predictor of student's Perceived Narrowness of Use of the e-portsfolio is Experience, followed by Enjoyment and SubjectiveNorm

Cloud computing adoption and usage in community colleges
TL;DR: Findings demonstrated that background characteristics such as the student's ability to travel to campus had influenced the usefulness perceptions, while ease of use was largely determined by first-hand experiences with the platform, and instructor support.

Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, and User
TL;DR: Regression analyses suggest that perceived ease of use may actually be a causal antecdent to perceived usefulness, as opposed to a parallel, direct determinant of system usage.

Perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and user acceptance of information technology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and validated new scales for two specific variables, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, which are hypothesized to be fundamental determinants of user acceptance.

TL;DR: The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as mentioned in this paper is a unified model that integrates elements across the eight models, and empirically validate the unified model.
