While millions of dollars are spent building digital libraries, research findings indicate that millions of potential users may still be ignoring them. Researchers have applied different Technology Acceptance Models to determine the acceptance of Information System (IS). In this research, we recognized the existence of different groups of users of Electronic Library System (ELS) with different usage behavior and, therefore, developed and validated a Nationality based Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (NUTAUT) model adapted from UTAUT model to account for each group of users' acceptance. Nationality was introduced based on the assumption that the UTAUT independent variables will impact the acceptance and usage differently when moderated by nationality. The result from 116 (58 international and 58 national) student participants provides support for NUTAUT by showing that the various UTAUT constructs exert varying degree of effects. It not only confirms the NUTAUT robustness in predicting acceptance of both National and International Students (91% and 98% respectively) but also determines the importance of each independent construct to each group in determining acceptance. Performance Expectancy (EE) and Social Influence (SI) are significant factors for International students while Effort Expectancy (EE) and Facilitating Conditions (FC) have the same effect for the two groups. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used as the main technique for data analysis. This study is useful to school managers, bank managers and other Information Science designers that make decision about IS that are used by people of different nationalities. The NUTAUT model can also be applied in cross-cultural acceptance and so we provide more insight into the understanding of Technology Acceptance through this study.

An engagement and motivation model for online learning technologies BULUT, İBRAHİM HAKKI; Delialioğlu, Ömer (2022-12-01) The aim of this study is to construct a technology model, named as Online Learning Technology Engagement Model (OLTEM), to enhance our understanding in the adoption of an online learning technology. The study suggests a model covering the theoretical background of underlying motivational processes for technology engagement of students. The sample of the study are 533 students from 4 public universities in Turkey. The constructed model is validated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural eq...
Work in Progress - A Modified Technology Acceptance Model for E-Assessment: Intentions of Engineering Students to Use Web-Based Assesment Tools Alkis, Nurcan; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2010-10-30) With the usage of information technologies in education field, e-assessment that uses information technology to assess students learning started to become popular. Web-based testing, a type of e-assessment, seems to have advantages when compared to traditional testing, like costing, reliability, ease of use etc. Although it seems to have advantages, students' intentions to use web-based assessment tools are needed to be researched to identify the factors that affect students' acceptance of such technologies...
A Structural Model for Students' Adoption of Learning Management Systems: An Empirical Investigation in the Higher Education Context FINDIK COŞKUNÇAY, Duygu; Alkis, Nurcan; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2018-04-01) With the recent advances in information technologies, Learning Management Systems have taken on a significant role in providing educational resources. The successful use of these systems in higher education is important for the implementation, management and continuous improvement of e-learning services to increase the quality of learning. This study aimed to identify the factors affecting higher education students' behavioral intention towards Learning Management Systems. A research model was proposed base...
ORganizational adoption of mobile communication technologies Arpaci, Ibrahim; Yardimci, Yasemin; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Türetken, Özgür (null; 2012-01-01) This study aims to identify important adoption factors for mobile communication technologies in private sector organizations. Grounded in the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Porter's Competitive Forces Model and the Technology-Organization-Environment Framework, we develop an integrated model to study the determinants of organizational adoption of mobile communication technologies. Data will be collected from middle and senior managers using a mixed-method approach. Identification of the organizational adop...
Optimizing The Service Policy Of A Wireless Access Point On The Move With Renewable Energy Ceran, Elif Tugce; Erkilic, Tugce; Uysal-Biyikoglu, Elif; Girici, Tolga; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2014-01-01) Inspired by recent industry efforts toward providing Internet access to areas of the world devoid of regular telecommunications infrastructure, an online resource allocation problem for a mobile access point (AP) is studied. While prudently managing its available energy, the AP allocates its resources to maximize the total utility (reward) provided to the users demanding service. The problem is formulated as a 0/1 dynamic knapsack problem with incremental capacity in a finite time horizon, the solution of w...
