The effects of individual differences on e-learning users’ behaviour in developing countries: A structural equation model

作者:

Highlights:

• We extended the TAM in the context of e-learning in developing countries (Lebanon).

• We examined if social influence affect the user perceptions towards using e-learning.

• Examined the moderating effect of gender, age and experience on the key factors.

• The extended model achieved acceptable fit and most of the paths were significant.

• Providing the required skills and infrastructure will increase the usage of e-learning.
