Interactivity is the key characteristic in interactive whiteboard technology (IWT). This study aims to provide a better understanding of communication behavior in IWT. This research’s objective is to investigate the effects of the interactivity level on a user’s attitude and intention toward the use of IWT. As a result, we cite the technology acceptance model (TAM) to support this research. Spe...

In previous studies, the technology acceptance model (TAM) [1] has been widely used by information technology researchers to gain a better understanding of information technology (IT) adoption and its use in organizations. While TAM has been applied and tested in academic and corporate settings, involving students, business managers, clerical and administrative types as subjects, few studies ha...

As healthcare costs continue to spiral upward, healthcare institutions are under enormous pressure to create cost efficient systems without risking quality of care. Healthcare IT applications provide considerable promises for achieving this multifaceted goal through managing inofrmation, reducing costs, and facilitating total quality management and continuous quality improvement programs. Howev...

The aim of this research is to consider the possible effect of an emerging technology platform on the uptake of online shopping: interactive (digital) Television (iTV), which enables viewers to select a variety of viewing options, publicity materials, games, entertainment and more recently shopping. An augmented version of the original TAM is applied to this study. Two new constructs are consid...

The role of mobile technology has significantly increased and been emphasized in English education. However, research investigating EFL teachers’ attitudes and behaviors related to mobile technology has been limited in descriptive aspects of the technology, leading to misunderstandings about EFL teachers’ needs. Furthermore, many prior studies have examined various aspects of electronic learnin...

Factors affecting the adoption of various technological innovations have been the subject of interest for researchers for many years. These issues have been studied using models from social psychology such as the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). TAM has been successfully used to study the adoption of Internet technology, a...

As the complexity dramatically increases with technological development, the ease of use of technology has been regarded as a critical factor to adpot. This study extends existing Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) proposed by Moon and Kim (2001) by introducing simplicity and perceived control. Simplicity has recently been suggested as an important concept for a successful user interface design ...

Turne Context: The technology acceptance model (TAM) was proposed in 1989 as a means of predicting technology usage. However, it is usually validated by using a measure of behavioural intention to use (BI) rather than a...

Although millions of dollars have been spend on building mobile banking systems, report on mobile banking systems has shown that potential users may not use the systems in spite of their availability. There is a need for research to identify the factors that determine users’ acceptance of mobile banking. According to the technology acceptance model (TAM), perceived ease of use and perceived use...
