Educational social network sites have many uses in the field of education. The present paper aims to determine factors influencing students’ behavioral intention to use a popular educational social network site, Edmodo. Using an extension of the technology acceptance model, we analyzed quantitative responses of 218 university students, registered in an Edmodo supported course. Data were analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results highlighted that intention was significantly predicted by its antecedents. More specifically, the attitude was the most important factor, whilst perceived usefulness had a moderate impact on predicting intention. Perceived ease of use predicted perceived usefulness directly and also it influenced intention indirectly through attitude. External antecedents of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use were all significant. Discussion and implications were drawn based on the results.

通过扩展的技术接受模型来了解大学生使用Edmodo的行为意图

教育性社交网站在教育领域有许多用途。本文旨在确定影响学生使用流行的教育社交网站Edmodo的行为意图的因素。使用技术接受模型的扩展，我们分析了在Edmodo支持的课程中注册的218名大学生的定量响应。通过偏最小二乘结构方程模型分析数据。结果强调，意图由其先行因素显着预测。更具体地说，态度是最重要的因素，而感知的有用性对预测意图有中等影响。感知的易用性直接预测了感知的有用性，并且还通过态度间接影响了意图。感知到的有用性和感知到的易用性的外部前提都很重要。根据结果​​进行讨论和暗示。
