Student Acceptance of Applying Digital Recording Technology for Preparing Research Presentation

Due to the advancement of technology, the phenomenon of using digital teaching materials during the process of learning has spread among various subjects. The aim of this study is to understand the fundamental factors influencing students´ acceptance of applying digital recording technology to prepare and present research papers in college courses. Sixty-nine questionnaires were distributed and sixty-seven usable questionnaires were returned. The design of questionnaire was based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model which consisted of scales of performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), facilitating conditions (FC), social influence (SI), behavioral intention (BI) and use behavior (UB) to assess the acceptance of students. Practical implications for students can be drawn from these findings in terms of developing e-Learning, u-Learning and beyond.
