Acceptance of e-learning and associated factors among postgraduate medical and health science students at first generation universities in Amhara region, 2023: using modified technology acceptance model
Overall, the proportion of postgraduate students who accepted e-learning is promising. Perceived ease of use perceived usefulness, and attitude had positive direct effects on the acceptance of e-learning. Facilitating conditions and self-efficacy had positive indirect effects on the acceptance of e-learning. Thus, implementers need to prioritize enhancing the provision of devices, students' skills, and knowledge of e-learning by providing continuous support to improve students' acceptance of the use of e-learning.
