Abstract

The research paper deals with the factors influencing user acceptance and adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on student motivations for the acceptance of ancillary technologies necessary for the delivery of e-learning processes. ICTs have been diffused in higher education slower than it has been expected. Especially for developing countries, using ICT in the most efficient and effective ways has crucial importance for the sustainable development and effective use of resources. In this study, a well know theory has been tested in a well known Jordanian University and the data has been collected with surveys.
