Exploring the Impact of Technology Attributes on Usefulness and Acceptance of Technology: A Study on e-University Learning Systems

The global COVID-19 epidemic has had a considerable influence on the educational sector, leading to a shift away from traditional education and toward e-learning education. This change has made it more difficult for students to adopt modern technologies, such as e-learning systems. The objective of this research is to investigate the influence of technological attributes on the usefulness and acceptance of e-learning systems among Jordanian students. A convenience sample of 343 questionnaires was distributed to Jordanian private university students and evaluated using a five-point Likert scale. The descriptive statistics and sub-hypotheses were examined with SPSS regression analysis. The main hypotheses were evaluated using SEM in AMOS. The study found that technology attributes significantly impact the perceived usefulness and acceptance of e-learning systems, both jointly and separately. Acceptance of e-learning systems has been positively impacted by perceived usefulness. Moreover, it found that acceptance of e-learning systems has been positively impacted by technology attributes via usefulness. The study suggested that universities and educational institutions address these attributes to improve students’ perceived usefulness and acceptability of e-learning technologies.
