Applying TAM to the Adoption of E-learning Platform

Abstract

This paper explores the factors influencing the use of E-learning platform in the academic context. A quantitative study was conducted through a questionnaire directed to Chinese university students, obtaining 327 valid answers. The results of this study identify that all factors of perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEU), and satisfaction (SAT) have significant influences on continuance intention (CI), with PU having the most substantial impact on learners' intention to use the E-learning platform. This study could contribute to understanding users' cognition and behavior in the mobile digital environments and has particular guiding significance for users' E-learning activities.
