Study of continuity trust on adoption and design of e-education and student development

Abstract

Trust or trustworthiness is an important issue in e-education and development of students' capabilities. Factors to calculate trust level have been studied to provide valuable information to students to avoid invalid choices. While some education branches provider and fraudulent services online still widely exist. A typical one is to attract students with ideal price or service but fail to deliver a solid item. This behavior is often carried out by a newly registered e-education. This paper proposes a new trust evaluation model to indicate to some extent the trust level of an eeducation firm or service provider at different registered time. We describe our proposed approach for continuity trust evaluation, which evaluated empirically in the paper.
