Abstract

This article analyses the challenges of the e-learning platform Tesys for both students and teachers in a Smart environment. In our research, two theoretical approaches are used to develop the hypotheses related to the relationships between user and technology: the relationship user-prosumer and the relationship principal-agent. Therefore, our quantitative and qualitative research put into value a strong relationship between user and technology. We arrived at the conclusion that the entrepreneurial behaviour of the agent is positively related to the Tesys features and also that the agent’s satisfaction is positively related to the principal feedback. We find that the principal-agent theory offers an integrated approach of the e-learning system in a Smart environment, and that a lack of agents control coupled with the lack of the principal’s motivation generated artificial barriers difficult to overcome even with Smart technology.
