The study group consists of 449 participants willing to participate on a volunteer basis. In the study, the data were…

Examining the blended learning (b-learning) acceptance is not a new research topic, and it has been tackled by many scholars. Nevertheless, the analysis of information systems (IS) models that are used to study the acceptance of b-learning is regarded as a topic of great importance. To examine these models and afford scholars a holistic view of…

This study based on an extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) model, examines factors influencing graduate students' behavioural intention towards adoption and actual use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). Using a cross-sectional data from 415 graduate students in Ghana, this study employed the partial…

This study investigates student perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI). The study analyzed four independent variables -- age, gender, school, and employment -- to predict students' level of readiness to adopt AI within an educational setting. Using an instrument with two constructs, data was collected from a diverse, multicultural group of…

Even though there is an abundance of research on computer supported education (CSE), digital literacy (DL), technological literacy (TL), and internet literacy (IL), the correlation between them and their effect on each other have not been analyzed in the literature. However, no study has been conducted on the correlation between and effect of CSE,…

The advancement of technologies has resulted in the boost of a popular chatbot software -- ChatGPT.

This paper examined the adoption and usage of e-learning communication tools by Mass Communication students of selected privately-owned Nigerian universities. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) was the theoretical lens that guided the study. The online survey was used to gather data from 358 students. Data analysis was…

This study focuses on visual creativity and how it can be supported with computer technologies and thereby be used to support learning and instruction. However, studies related to computer-enabled visual creativity have not been frequently explored. As such, the current research proposes a model consisting of four major factors: (a) computer-aided…

Computationally intensive science (CIS)-related disciplines and careers are predicted to be among the cutting-edge fields and high-demand jobs. Such disciplines and careers demand expertise in both traditional scientific knowledge and computer science (CS)-related understanding and skills. Preparing educational systems for developing interest and…

There is a wealth of research investigating language learners' adoption of digital technology in higher education.
