Abstract: The success of the strategic management of e-learning depends to a considerable extent on student acceptance and use of such a virtual learning system. In this paper, the e-learning system (ELS) is presented and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is used to explain user acceptance. We investigate and discuss the TAM results, involving a different technology, and used in a different context. In this field study, as an initial attempt to understand students' beliefs, attitudes and intentions and their inter-relationships, our results show that TAM performs well in explaining them.

Keywords: technology acceptance model; TAM; electronic learning; e-learning; online learning; user acceptance; Turkey; strategic management; student attitudes; virtual learning systems; student beliefs; student intentions; inter-relationships; online learning; internet; world wide web; universities; higher education; innovation.
