Abstract

Online teaching platforms (OTPs) are becoming important mediums for supporting college students in course learning activities. Their intention to use is critical for promoting learning effectiveness, efficiency, and continuous development of OTPs. Drawing upon the technology acceptance model (TAM), this study builds the research model of students' intention to use the OTPs with consideration of platform characteristics and social influence. The PLS-SEM method is employed to analyze 194 responses from students at a university. The results show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and social influence positively influence students' intention to use. Perceived ease of use positively affects perceived usefulness. In addition, social influence is positively related to perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, respectively. The study extends the TAM model by incorporating social influence to promote it relevant to the context of OTPs. The findings offer insights that universities and OTP providers could adopt to promote the use of OTPs by students.
通过扩展技术接受模型探讨影响大学生使用在线教学平台意向的因素
在线教学平台(OTP)正成为支持大学生开展课程学习活动的重要媒介。他们的使用意向对于促进学习效果、效率和在线教学平台的持续发展至关重要。本研究借鉴技术接受模型(TAM),结合平台特点和社会影响,建立了学生使用开放课程平台意向的研究模型。研究采用 PLS-SEM 方法分析了某大学学生的 194 份问卷。结果表明,感知有用性、感知易用性和社会影响对学生的使用意向有积极影响。感知易用性对感知有用性有正向影响。此外,社会影响分别与感知易用性和感知有用性呈正相关。本研究将社会影响纳入其中,从而扩展了 TAM 模型,使其与 OTP 相关。研究结果为大学和OTP提供商提供了启示,有助于促进学生使用OTP。
