Abstract

This paper attempts to demonstrate the insufficiencies of the longstanding and positivist-embedded TAM research tradition in IS and provide contextual rich insights on faculty acceptance of e-learning, by advocating the generation of in-context theories of appropriation, through a multi-layered, descriptive understanding of teachers as creative agents, in their perception, manipulation, assimilation and reinvention of technology-enhanced educational systems, within the university setting.
