There has recently been an increasing interest in Learning Management Systems (LMSs). It is currently unclear, however, exactly how these systems are perceived by their users. This article analyzes data on user acceptance for two LMSs (Blackboard and Canvas). The respective collected using a questionnaire modeled after the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM); it relates several variables that inf...

conclusions beliefs in health locus of control and type of illness in female patient group are predictors of illness acceptance (p = 0,0009). patients and methods three methods were applied: multidimensional health locus of control scale by k.a. wallston, b.s. wallston and r. devellis; the acceptance of illness scale by b.j. felton, t.a. revenson, and g.a. hinrichsena; and a personal questionna...

patients and methods sixty children aged between 2 and 12 years, and scheduled for on-pump surgery due to a congenital heart disease were randomly assigned into two groups. oral midazolam (0.5 mg/kg up to 15 mg per patient) and dexmedetomidine (2 µg/kg) were administered 45 minutes pre-anesthesia. children’s anxiety, mask acceptance behavior, hemodynamic measures, and cardiopulmonary outcomes w...

this article proposes a revised technology acceptance model to measure customers ‘acceptance of internet banking, in iran. this study uses the technology acceptance model, theory of planned behavior and theory of perceived risk to build a comprehensive model. we designed a questionnaire and used it to survey a randomly selected sample of customers of internet banking, and in june 2010, a sample...

Matching a set of agents to a set of objects has many real applications. One well-studied framework is that of prioritybased matching, in which each object is assumed to have a priority order over the agents. The Deferred Acceptance (DA) and Top-Trading-Cycle (TTC) mechanisms are the best-known strategy-proof mechanisms. However, in highly anonymous environments, the set of agents is not known ...

This paper presents a multiple case research concerning success factors and issues of mobile field service implementations. Based on Eisenhardt’s explorative research design, five successful mobile technology implementations are compared and analysed. Important aspects of the implementation strategy and the used technology are examined and discussed. The results indicate that the success of mob...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to: empirically validate a modified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model by adding an “e-learning motivation” construct in the South American context; try to determine the role of e-learning motivation in the use and adoption of e-learning systems and conversely the effect of technology on students’ e-learning motivation; and to...
