Student Adoption of Asynchronous Learning

Abstract

The educational process has been reorganized due to the epidemic, requiring educators to adopt new approaches to remote and virtual learning techniques. Future educators will employ strategies based on the use of social media, the production of videos, and the usage of virtual platforms. To develop learning videos that support online learning practicum activities or distance learning in Introduction to Databases Practicum courses, this research aims to investigate student acceptance of asynchronous learning video recordings of online learning practicum of introduction to databases in the COVID-19 pandemic. This study adopted the DeLone and McLean’s Information System Success Model (DL&ML model), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) theories as the conceptual framework for examining the student adoption of video recordings in the context Introduction to Databases Practicum course. Using SmartPLS 4 software, the data were modeled and evaluated utilizing the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM). According to the 126-sample data, Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Usefulness, Video Quality, and Information Quality affected behavioral intention to use Video Recordings during the Introduction to Databases Practicum when Covid-19 was a pandemic. The behavioral intention influences the use behavior of Video Recordings. It is suggested that the government create an adequate infrastructure to support online learning and help lecturers gain more knowledge and expertise in using technology, particularly when developing, implementing, and conducting evaluations of online learning.
