Assessment of Human Robot Interaction-based R-learning Systems: A Preceding Study

With the development of information technologies, computers play an important role in education and have been widely used for after-school activities. The students are also able to use computer-aided learning content anytime and anywhere due to the development of computer network technologies. Recently, there are efforts in using robots as one of devices to assist learning activities. The r-learning system was developed for aiding students’ learning activities in this research. In order to improve the contents and responses of the r-learning system, it is necessary to conduct research to find the important factors that affect the intention to use the system. This paper shows the results of a preceding study to find important factors. The analysis result on the basis of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) suggests that the information technology level of users is a significantly important factor on the intention to use the r-learning system. This research is a preceding study and further analysis with other variables will be conducted in order to find the significant factors affecting the intention to use r-learning users.
