Abstract

As learning and training with internet technologies and web-based distance learning become more and more popular, more emerging technologies are utilized in delivering instructional material to students. User acceptance of technology has been an important field of study in Information Systems and Information Technology. Drawing on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and insights from qualitative data on student responses to factors affecting their attitudes toward technology, a research framework was developed to understand the key factors that affect technology acceptance in learning settings from a student's view. This research contributes to supplement existing literature of technology acceptance in educational settings. It also provides implications for practice to guide educators who design and deliver the courses in technology-mediated learning.
