Abstract
- From the beginning of the e-learning technology era, many concerns arose regarding the use of e-learning in everyday academic processes. Thus, in recent years, a number of studies were conducted on e-learning acceptance, mostly with the use of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) Model. Current study investigates the determinants of acceptance of academic e-learning technologies with the use of proposed modified UTAUT model. The basic UTAUT model was supplemented by the examined new determinants: system interactivity and the area of scientific expertise. Therefore, the paper contributes to UTAUT theory, applied in e-learning, by utilising empirical research with a modified UTAUT model including these two new variables. This study confirmed the hypotheses related to the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and system interactivity on behavioural intention to use e-learning technologies, and also stated that the area of scientific expertise does not have a direct impact on the intention to use e-learning technologies. The research model has been tested in an academic environment in Turkey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
