Digital Learning Tools in Higher Education

This research explores the factors influencing the acceptance and use of digital learning tools in higher education specifically Learning Management Systems (LMS) online course platforms and adaptive learning technologies through the lens of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Key concepts of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use significantly shape students' and educators' perceptions and interactions with these tools. The study highlights the critical role of institutional decisions such as policy infrastructure and support systems in effectively implementing these technologies. It also examines the social impact of digital learning tools discussing their potential to either bridge or exacerbate educational inequalities based on access and equity issues.
