The continuing quest to ensure user acceptance is an ongoing management challenge and one that has occupied information systems researchers to such an extent that technology acceptance research is now considered to be among the more mature areas of exploration. Several models have been developed and validated in different contexts to help explain…

The key objective of this study was to reveal the key factors that impact university students' continued usage intentions with respect to Learning Management Systems (LMSs). Given the context-dependent nature of e-learning, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model was applied and extended with constructs principally…

The integration of AI-chatbots into higher education offers the potential to enhance learning practices. This research aims to explore the factors influencing AI-chatbots adoption within higher education, with a focus on the moderating roles of technological proficiency and academic discipline. Utilizing a survey-based approach and advanced…

Based on the instructional interaction principles outlined by Chen and Wang (2016) in third-generation distance learning, this study employs a recursive logical perspective on the evolution of the theory of interaction in distance education. It constructs a structural equation model to measure the mediating utility path of the learner's proactive…

Blended collaborative learning has emerged as an effective pedagogical model that integrates face-to-face and online learning environments, offering a dynamic platform for deep learning--characterized by critical thinking, knowledge synthesis, and application. However, existing research offers mixed findings on how blended collaborative learning…

Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), this evaluates the effects of generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) on learning performance within China's education sector, emphasizing the roles of social interaction, utilitarian benefit, knowledge acquisition, and epistemic curiosity. The study employs a dual method, using PLS-SEM and fsQCA…

Collaboration is critical to the student-centred learning approach and this is a characteristic feature of the online learning system, as collaborative learning happens to be a major attraction of the online education system. This study investigated innovation in education technology and peer learning outcomes with the mediation of learners'…

Cloud computing is the next generation of on-demand information technology services and products that deliver various applications over the Internet. Cloud computing is often adopted as a superior alternative by data centers to replace their current system. However, cloud computing services are still accompanied by many issues which hinder their…

Considering the importance of group member familiarity in collaborative learning in classroom learning environments, this study examined the impact of group member familiarity on CSCL (computer-supported collaborative learning) in a networked setting. Also, the differences between CSCL in the online environments and FtF (face-to-face)…

Even though big data offers new opportunities to organizations, big data adoption (BDA) is still in the early stages of introduction, and its determinants remain unclear in many sectors. Therefore, this research intended to identify the determinants of BDA in the education sector. A theoretical model was developed based on the integration of the…

This study explores the role of perceived utility, social influence, and ethical concerns in the adoption of AI-based data analysis tools among academic researchers in China, focusing on differences between public and private universities. The research aims to identify key drivers and barriers influencing the integration of AI technology in…

Given that video conferencing serves as a crucial means for remote teaching, the current study investigated higher education students' (non)use of webcams and engagement in synchronous online courses. Three phases were studied: (1) A state of engagement; (2) antecedents that influence it; and (3) consequences of engagement. The cross-sectional…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an important technology affecting the development of society and education, and it is crucial to explore AI to enhance students' creativity and learning performance. This research proposes the model and hypothesis based on the resource-based theory and related research. AI of higher education institute (HEI)…

This research delves into the factors that shape Chinese college students' engagement with Generative AI (GenAI) for career exploration purposes, employing the lenses of the Comprehensive Model of Information Seeking (CMIS) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Utilizing a mixed-methods design, which integrates partial least squares…

In the technology acceptance studies, both the theory of reasoned action and the technology acceptance model have been widely adopted to study the factors that influence users' technology usage intentions. While these frameworks have been mostly tested in Western nations, there has been a little effort to apply these frameworks in non-Western…
