In recent years, online learning model has become the mainstream in higher education. The cooperation between universities and Internet education platforms provides a good learning environment and abundant online elective courses for college students, but the practical teaching effect is not ideal. Therefore, based on the Universal Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this study introduced the perceived cost and content quality to build a model of college students' continuous intention to use online course platforms, and used structural equation model to study the relationship among the variables. The results showed that effort expectancy and social influence affected continuous intention indirectly via performance expectancy; content quality indirectly affected continuous intention through effort expectancy, performance expectancy and effort expectancy-performance expectancy; perceived cost had a significant negative effect on continuous intention. These research results provide new ideas for the design and development of online course platform.
近年来,在线学习模式已成为高等教育的主流。高校与互联网教育平台的合作,为大学生提供了良好的学习环境和丰富的在线选修课程,但实践教学效果并不理想。因此,本研究基于技术接受与使用统一理论(UTAUT),引入感知成本和内容质量,构建了大学生在线课程平台持续使用意愿模型,并运用结构方程模型研究各变量之间的关系。结果表明,期望努力和社会影响通过绩效期望间接影响持续意愿;内容质量通过期望努力、绩效期望和期望努力-绩效期望间接影响持续意愿;感知成本对持续意愿有显著负向影响。这些研究结果为在线课程平台的设计与开发提供了新思路。
