Item An Analysis of the Technology Acceptance Model in Understanding University Students' Behavioral Intention to Use e-Learning(International Forum of Educational Technology & Society, 2009-07-01) Sung, Youl ParkMany universities implement e-learning for various reasons. It is obvious that the number of e-learning opportunities provided by higher educational institutes continues to grow in Korea. Yet little research has been done to verify the process of how university students adopt and use e-learning. A sample of 628 university students took part in the research. The structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was employed with the LISREL program to explain the adoption process. The general structural model, which included e-learning selfefficacy, subjective norm, system accessibility, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude, and behavioral intention to use e-learning, was developed based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). The result proved TAM to be a good theoretical tool to understand users’ acceptance of e-learning. E-learning selfefficacy was the most important construct, followed by subjective norm in explicating the causal process in the model.Item Bridging the Gap: Technology Trends and Use of Technology in Schools(: Journal of Educational Technology & Society, 2013-04-01) Cher, Ping Lim; Yong, Zhao; Jo, Tondeur; Ching, Sing; Chin-Chung, TsaiConsiderable investment has been made to bring technology to schools and these investments have indeed resulted in many “success stories.” However there are two significant gaps in educational uses of technology that must be addressed. The first is a usage gap. Compared to how and how much today’s students use technology outside school, in-school technology usage is much less intensive and extensive. The second is an outcome gap. Compared with the outcomes achieved through investment in technology in sectors outside education, the gains in terms reduced costs and increased productivity achieved by schools is significantly smaller. This article discusses the causes of these two gaps and provides suggestions for bridging them by engaging in discussions about effective teaching and committing to technology planning.Item Decision on the Report of the Peace and Security Council on its Activities and the State of Peace and Security in Africa, Adopted by the Thirty-Seventh Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union held on 17 - 18 February 2024, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.(African Union Commission, 2024-02-17) Assembly of the UnionDecision on the Report of the Peace and Security Council on its Activities and the State of Peace and Security in Africa, Adopted by the Thirty-Seventh Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union held on 17 - 18 February 2024, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Item Decision and Declaration Adopted by the 14th Extra Ordinary Session (Silencing the Guns) of the Assembly of the Union, 6 December 2020, Johannesburg, South Africa.(African Union Commission, 2020-12-06)Decision and Declaration Adopted by the 14th Extra Ordinary Session (Silencing the Guns) of the Assembly of the Union, 6 December 2020, Johannesburg, South Africa.Item Decision and Declaration Adopted by the Twenty-Second Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union held on 30 - 31 January 2014, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.(African Union Commission, 2014-06-27) Assembly of the UnionDecision and Declaration Adopted by the Twenty-Second Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the Union held on 30 - 31 January 2014, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.Item Decision and Declaration on Terrorism and Unconstitutional Changes of Government in Africa Adopted During the 16th Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union held on 28 May 2022, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.(African Union Commission, 2022-05-28) Assembly of the UnionDeclaration on Terrorism and Unconstitutional Changes of Government During the 16th Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union on Terrorism and Unconstitutional Change of Government in Africa held on 28 May, 2022, Malabo,Equatorial Guinea.Among the topical issues discussed include: Terrorism and Violent Extremism and Unconstitutional Changes of Government.Item Decision of the Assembly of the Union on the Organization of the 13th and 14th Extraordinary Sessions of the Assembly on AfCFTA and Silencing the Guns, 12 November 2020.(African Union Commission, 2020-11-12) Assembly of the UnionDecisions of the 13th and 14th Extraordinary Sessions of the Assembly on AfCFTA and Silencing the GunsItem Decision on the Appointment of Ten (10) Members of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union, 9-10 February 2020, Addis Ababa Ethiopia.(African Union Commission, 2020-02) Assembly of the UnionThe Assembly takes note of the Election of Ten (10) Members of the Peace and Security Council of the African Union by the Executive Council for a term of two years.
