PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENTS ON TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE FOR ONLINE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY
Abstract
This empirical study aims to investigate students' perceptions of technology acceptance for online learning in higher education. With the increasing prevalence of online learning, it is crucial to understand how students perceive and accept technology in this educational context. The study employed a survey questionnaire to collect data from students enrolled in online courses in a higher education institution. The questionnaire assessed students' perceptions of technology acceptance, including perceived usefulness, ease of use, satisfaction, and intention to use technology for online learning. Demographic information was also collected. The findings provide valuable insights into students' perceptions and factors influencing their acceptance of technology for online learning in higher education, which can inform the design and implementation of effective online learning environments.
