Abstract

This chapter examines factors influencing instructors' behavioral intention to adopt e-learning in higher education institutions in Indonesia and Malaysia. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study explores how perceived usefulness, ease of use, and attitude impact technology acceptance. Data was collected from 150 university instructors, with an 80.7% response rate. ANOVA and Pearson correlation analyses reveal that while the type of platform has little impact on instructors' perceptions, there are significant internal links between TAM constructs, particularly perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and intention to use. The results indicate that user experience and institutional support have a greater influence on digital adoption than the platform itself. This chapter offers recommendations for improving e-learning implementation and suggests further research into demographic and contextual factors that affect instructor attitudes and sustained engagement with educational technologies.
