Abstract

In this paper we present a study that aims at exploring two components of the Technology Acceptance Model. As an evaluation environment, we used Tesys e-Learning platform, R programming language for data processing, and Google Forms for data collection. The study intended to explore if there are significant differences between genders regarding the perceived usefulness and attitude towards evaluation using online educational environment. The questionnaire exploring the above-mentioned components was applied to a group of full-time students that have never used e-Learning platforms. The results showed that the questionnaire was reliable and there is no cross-gender difference regarding students’ perceived usefulness of e-Learning platforms and their attitude towards using them. The overall feedback received from each of the explored items is positive with a grade above four on a five Likert scale.
