Adoption versus use diffusion. Predicting user acceptance of mobile TV in Flanders Universiteit Gent
In the contemporary changing ICT environment, an increasing number of services and devices are being developed and brought to end-user market. Unfortunately, this environment is also characterized by an increasing number of failing innovations; confronting scholars, policy makers as well as industry with an explicit need for more accurate user research. Such research must result in more accurate predictions and forecasts of an innovation's ...
Assessing teachers' acceptance of educational technologies: beware for the congruency between user acceptance and actual use Universiteit Gent
In this study, we investigated the extent to which self-reported measures for user acceptance (attitude, behavioral intention, self-reported frequency of use), added to the prediction of several aspects of use of a portal for education. Data from 835 teachers was collected: questionnaire U+201CacceptanceU+201D data on one occasion and five parameters for observed use (number of logins, downloads, uploads, page views, and reactions) were ...
