The rapid development of Internet and instructional technologies are leverage for E-learning to enhance the educational environment. The Social Networking Framework has attracted many and still plays a vital role in the lives of individuals currently. The results of this study were presented to be meaningful with the outcomes of hypothesis testing. SEM was employed to verify the relationships between UTAUT factors and BI, as well as ARCS factors, showed that UTAUT factors had a strongly significant and positive effect on BI towards the social networking framework. This research discusses the fundamental targets of this research in full detail. It also gives the significant and insignificant factors of BI when MMU students in Malaysia use Social Networking Framework for learning. In addition, this paper will explain how UTAUT with ARCS framework (underpinning theories) is the most suitable model for adopting Social Networking Framework among MMU students in Malaysia. Finally, this study has a few constraints that can be tenable for future research.
The article describes a research study looking at internet usage among the elderly in Iran. The Internet offers several benefits for the elderly. However, internet usage among the Iranian elderly is at a low level. Moreover, very few studies have explored the reasons for this low usage making this study highly relevant and important. Their numbers in the total population are expected to form 20% in another three decades. This study aimed to survey the elderly users and non-users of the Internet to see what factors enable its uptake. One hundred twenty-seven elderly users and 51 non-users participated in a questionnaire survey designed using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Twenty users and non-users were also interviewed to gather richer details about the research topic. The findings show that performance and effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, and knowledge acquisition significantly predict the behavioral intention of the Iranian elderly to use the Internet. The findings are presented in a new conceptual model to help understand the motivations behind internet use. This study has implications for the research community and the technology industry in Iran and beyond as it indicates how the elderly can be attracted to adopt Internet technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
