Description
Summary:This paper presents a study aimed at developing a realistic model for understanding users' intention to use Smart Learning Application (SLA). SLA provides users with an intelligent learning platform that enables effective learning management, user-centered networking of intelligent devices, and rapid learning from any location. However, despite the advantages of SLA, its use i s not widely accepted. The study used a quantitative approach, and data was collected from 229 respondents using a survey. SmartPLS (v. 3.2.8) was used to examine the relationships between the variables in the proposed model. The study developed a comprehensive model based on DOI that addressed users' intention to use SLA. The findings indicated that the direct influence of Relative Advantage, Compatibility, and Complexity on users' intention to use Tarannum Smart Learning Application (TSLA) was not significant, and hypotheses H1, H2, and H3 were not supported. However, hypothesis H4, which postulated a significant relationship between Observability and Intention to Use, was supported. The proposed model can be used as a basis for improving the learning of various types of tarannum by teachers teaching the holy Quran. The study can be expanded to other Smart Learning Applications to validate the findings and identify more opportunities. TSLA, by design, promotes human-oriented networking of smart devices and applications, making it a suitable tool for encouraging active users. Longitudinal data may be necessary to investigate the variables that impact people's acceptance level of TSLA. The technical implementation of TSLA from a policy maker's viewpoint can be explored in future studies. © 2024, Transnational Press London Ltd. All rights reserved.
