Abstract
Advent of information and mobile communication technologies has given
new dimensions to educational research. Investment in technology based
infrastructure for education will be effective if students are ready to adapt
their behavior to accept technological changes. The research objective is
to identify state of student’s behavioral intentions and readiness for
online learning to increase their participation towards e-learning
initiatives taken by institutions. This study implements a survey of
undergraduate, masters and PhD students (N=211) of 3 departments
(Engineering, Computer Science and Management Sciences) from four
universities. Results suggested that behavioral intention for online
learning was a predictor of students’ participation in e-learning
initiatives. The proposed mediation model revealed that perceived
institutional support for information technology infrastructure affect the
students’ participation. Findings indicated that females had better
preparedness for e-learning initiatives and undergraduate students found
e-learning methods effective as compared to classroom teaching.
Directions for future research have been provided.
