- 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.
