Description
Summary:	To identify the factors supporting online learning under pandemic conditions, a questionnaire based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was adapted and administered to a sample of 704 Chinese university students. (2020) have shown how students nonetheless tend to benefit from this blended mode of learning, in terms of improved learning outcomes and even increased college graduation rates. Even a very basic online course has several costly requirements, including: a rapid and stable internet connection; a sizeable internet data allowance, to accommodate video content; a screen that is big enough for extended viewing; and a functioning keyboard, for even minimal interactions. Towards improving university student engagement during the current pandemic and future crises, the current research aimed to identify technology and user characteristics predicting Chinese university students' adoption of a specific online learning platform.
