The extended technology acceptance model and the design of the 21st century classroom

Abstract

Recent technological models advancements have led to the need to adjust education methods in many educational institutions. Since the start of the use of technology in education, the approach gained a lot of attention from the education sectors, and has been applied across many areas in the academic field. The idea is to support the acceptance of the technology implementation by modifying TAM model with the pre-acknowledgement of technology users using an additional element. This additional element should serve to increase the motivation level of instructors and students alike. Moreover, it should grow the need for using modern technology in the education environment. The result of these changes should be to spur on those resistant to the adoption of technology to adopt and incorporate it into their systems.
