Technology Acceptance Model News Today

We introduce the notion of Tolerance for autonomous artificial agents (and its antithetical concept, Intolerance), motivating its theoretical adoption in the fields of social robotics and human—agent interaction, where it can effectively complement two contiguous, but essentially distinct, constructs—Acceptance and Trust—that are broadly used by researchers. We offer a comprehensive conceptual model of Tolerance, construed as a user’s insusceptibility or resilience to Autonomy Estrangeme...

Cricket experts utilise International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings to project or comment on player performances. Various reports contend that rankings are based on complex algorithms and extensive data analysis which offers a consistent ...

Jason Zhang/Wikimedia CommonsThe latest digital cameras boast ever-higher resolutions, better performance in low light, smart focusing and shake reduction – and they’re built right into your smartphone. Even so, some Gen Z-ers are now opting for point-and-shoot digital cameras from the early 2000s, before many of them were born. It’s something of a renaissance, and not just for older cameras. The digital cam...

Overall, home visitation staff support the use of technology-enhanced educational tools in conjunction with home visits to promote positive weight outcomes.

Researchers investigated the factors that hinder or promote healthcare professionals' acceptance of artificial intelligence (AI) in hospitals.

The rapid transformation in information and communication technology (ICT) has influenced change in other areas of human lives, including in the teaching and learning process in higher education institutions. This study explores: a) how student perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioural intention to use an eLearning system (using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)); and b) validity testing of the underlying causal relationships between perceived usefulne...

Blended learning has the potential to provide learners with multiple advantages such as increased access to learning, increased flexibility, and enhanced learner engagement. The pedagogic method has been prevalent in higher education in recent years, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the growth of interest in institutional initiatives, our knowledge about the adoption and diffusion of blended learning at the institutional level remains limited. Knowledge about adoption and diffusio...

JMIR Publications recently published "Dissemination and Implementation of a Google Apple Exposure Notification System for COVID-19 Risk Mitigation at a National Public University: Protocol for a Pilot Evaluation Study in a Real-World Setting" in JMIR Research Protocols which reported that this paper describes the protocol for South Carolina Safer Together, developed by Clemson University to design, deploy, and evaluate multilevel communication and dissemination and implementation (D&am...

From a developing country perspective, this study explains the factors affecting online learning amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper empirically tests the proposed extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (E-UTAUT) model in the students' intention and use behavior towards the online learning system. Understanding the acceptance of online learning technology is crucial, especially among developing countries caught off-guard by the abrupt transition of face-to-face class...

The introduction of these technologies in Ghana has created an enabling platform for consumers to use their mobile phones to pay for goods and services
