University Student's Acceptance of Accredited Certificates on MOOCs in Light of Technology Acceptance Model

This study explored the acceptance of obtaining an accredited certificate through MOOCs among Jordanian university students, using the Technology Acceptance Model as a framework. The study adopted a descriptive approach and included a sample of 278 students. The findings revealed that the perceived usefulness factor was higher among male students than female students, notably among students in scientific disciplines compared to those in academic disciplines. Moreover, master's students were more accepted than bachelor's students. These findings hold practical implications, emphasising the need to encourage universities to offer accredited certificates across various disciplines. Additionally, it underscores the importance of raising awareness among students regarding the potential benefits of incorporating learning technology into their daily lives.
