Predictors of Engagement and Participation in an On-Line Course - Marc D. Miller, R. Kelly Rainer, J. Ken Corley
.... Two primary research streams have explored the use and non-use of computer technology: the technology acceptance model (TAM) (Davis et al., 1989; Davis, 1989) and various renditions of the computer self-efficacy (CSE) constructs (Compeau et al., 1995, 1999; Gist , 1989; Gist et al., 1989; Murphy et al., 1989) . If these models can predict computer use and satisfaction, they may also be able to predict and explain participation and engagement with an online learning course which uses the computer as its primary access medium. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to empirically explore the constructs of the TAM and CSE as they relate to the use of computers in the delivery of online learning. Understanding these factors can help course designers, educators, and directors of corporate training and development develop and implement more effective online learning and training programs.
