q2 · i? · associational · r1

Study with 49 pre-service teachers from Canton Ticino, Switzerland, who evaluated HPL and a paper-based TPL using a TAM survey adapted from Teo (2009). "84% of teachers were willing to continue to do other activities with HPL, while only 54% were willing to do so with TPL." Spearman correlations between demographics and perception yielded no significant correlations.

"When asked whether they would like to continue doing other activities with these platforms, 49% chose both, 35% chose HPL, and 6% chose TPL, with only 4% expressing they would not want to use either. This means that 84% of teachers were willing to continue to do other activities with HPL"
