“…Perceived ease of use is defined as "the degree to which a person believes that using a particular system would be free of effort" (Davis, 1989, p. 320) and represents an intrinsically motivating aspect of human-computer interactions that has been shown to influence behavioral intentions, attitude and skill performance (Agarwal and Karahanna, 2000;Nowlan et al, 2013). For our study, we are specifically interested in students' ease of use with respect to navigating their online course (Fagan et al, 2008), referred to as perceived ease of use of online learning (PEU).…”

PurposeThis study offers insight on the impact of virtual team projects (VTPs) of varying types (global vs domestic teams, technology vs non-tech projects) on competency and anxiety outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachPaired-sample t-tests and ANOVA tests were performed on student survey responses pre- and post-engagement of different VTPs.FindingsThe results demonstrated positive effects of VTPs on intercultural sensitivity (ISS), computer self-efficacy, perceived ease of use of online learning and COVID-19 anxiety. ISS (“interaction confidence”) improved more for students in the global vs. domestic teams and technology-related outcomes (CSE, PEU and computer anxiety) and ISS (“respect for cultural differences”) improved more for students that participated in tech projects, whereas COVID-19 anxiety lessened more for those that participated in non-tech projects.Originality/valueThe study expands understanding of the Technology Acceptance Model and provides insight into the ISS literature showing that VTPs could be a worthwhile pedagogical approach for improving student competencies and anxiety during times of academic disruption, but that project type can influence these changes.
