Abstract

When the coronavirus pandemic was declared as a Public Health Emergency, educational ministries and institutions unanimously opted for distance education as a solution to carry on teaching and learning worldwide. Flexible hybrid courses (HyFlex) are one of the innovative teaching devices that have emerged since the health crisis and aimed to achieve educational continuity and satisfy learners’ various needs. Based on a research model inspired by the different extensions of the technology acceptance model (TAM), we conducted a study with 249 students from the faculty of medicine and pharmacy affiliated with Mohammed First University in Oujda (Morocco) who learned in a HyFlex environment during the 2020–2021 fall semester. The study addressed students’ perceptions regarding the implementation of blended-learning and its dimensions. It aimed to analyse the perceptions of usefulness and ease of use of the HyFlex model and the facilitating conditions and individual characteristics, chiefly the availability of technological resources and the mastery of the computational tool on the behavioural intention of adopting this approach. The results show that attitude, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and availability of technological resources are the main factors favouring the acceptance of e-learning by the surveyed students.
