The COVID-19 pandemic has revolutionized the teaching pedagogy in higher education as universities are forecasted to increase investments in learning technology infrastructure to transition away from traditional teaching methods. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate whether academics intend to continually integrate learning technologies as part of a permanent pedagogical change beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing upon the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), and Expectation Confirmation Model (ECM), this study examines the salient determinants influencing the continuance intention of academics to use learning technologies in their teaching pedagogy during and after COVID-19. Primary data collected from a private university was analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modelling technique (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed two sequential mediating relationships which serve as the mechanism linking the relationship between facilitating conditions and their continuance intention to use learning technologies during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
新冠疫情改变了高等教育的教学模式，因为各大学预计将增加对学习技术基础设施的投资，以摆脱传统的教学方法。因此，至关重要的是要调查学术界是否打算将学习技术作为永久性教学变革的一部分持续整合，而不仅仅是在新冠疫情之后。本研究以技术接受与使用统一理论（UTAUT）和期望确认模型（ECM）为基础，考察了影响学术界在新冠疫情期间和之后继续使用学习技术进行教学的意愿的主要决定因素。本研究从一所私立大学收集了原始数据，并使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模技术（PLS-SEM）进行了分析。研究结果揭示了两个连续的中介关系，这些关系作为机制，将促进条件与他们在新冠疫情期间和之后继续使用学习技术的意图联系起来。
