“…This study adopted well-validated scales to measure the constructs and used SEM analysis to test the model. Previous empirical studies of TAM have shown that perceived ease of use has a comparatively small effect on behavioural intention [ 15 , 17 ]. In contrast, our study showed that perceived ease of use had a significant influence on the behavioural intention to use, as evidenced by the standardized path coefficient of 0.91 at the level of p < 0.001.…”

“…Conceptualised by Venkatesh and Davis [ 15 ], TAM is useful, effective and reliable in explaining and predicting an individual’s acceptance of a specific technology. The model is the most influential, most tested, and best-operationalized with good reliability and validity of its instrument [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…Perceived usefulness is one of the essential components of the behavioural intention to use technology. Previous studies have found the positive association between perceived usefulness and behavioural intention [ 16 , 17 ]. Evidence has also indicated that perceived ease of use is a determining factor in the use of technology [ 8 ].…”

Background As mass casualty incidents are low-probability events, students often do not have the chance to practise field triage skills during their clinical placement. This study used a 3D game to engage participants in experiential learning in a realistic virtual environment. The purpose of the study was to explore factors affecting nursing students’ intention to use a 3D game to learn field triage skills. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey study. The technology acceptance model augmented by computer self-efficacy was used as a research model and a questionnaire was used to evaluate students’ intention to use the 3D game to learn field triage. Data was collected from nursing students of a degree-awarding higher education institution in Hong Kong. Results A total of 177 valid questionnaires were returned, and structural equation modeling was used to test the research model and hypotheses. Consistent with the technology acceptance model, perceived usefulness (0.21, p < 0.05) and perceived ease of use (0.91, p < 0.001) had a positive effect on the behavioral intention to use the 3D game. Computer self-efficacy positively influenced both perceived usefulness (0.66, p < 0.001) and perceived ease of use (0.73, p < 0.001). The research model explained 42 percent of the variance in the behavioral intention to use the 3D game. Conclusion Students believed that using the 3D game would enhance their field triage skills and found the game easy to use. Using 3D games to facilitate learning is a worthwhile educational approach for preparing healthcare professionals to handle low-probability clinical tasks, such as field triage in mass casualty incidents. Insights provided by findings of this study included the best way to design and promote interactive education programmes in a virtual environment.

“…So, one can visualize IRs as a platform for the exchange of good practice and a heightened sense of community growth (Kodua-Ntim and Fombad, 2020: 515). IRs in real sense have become the current research systems with the capability to ingest, converge and merge data for the benefit of larger scholarly circles (Schöpfel and Azeroual, 2021). IRs have emerged as influencing elements for the successful exploration and dissemination of scholarly content by pacifying the role of the established publishers and gearing up the role of the institutional researchers for the maximum use of the digital medium (Lynch, 2003: 327).…”

The article tries to highlight the evolution and conceptual framework of institutional repositories and their impact on the academic and scholarly circles in terms of better visibility, wider audience and earlier communication of research. The characteristics associated with the institutional repositories are also highlighted, which makes them stand out from the crowd in the family of open access scholarly platforms. The study is based on the examination and evaluation of the articles published across various peer-reviewed journals showcasing numerous dimensions of institutional repositories, ranging from their evolution to open scholarly acceptance. A preliminary search on institutional repositories was carried through two well-renowned indexing/abstracting databases of peer-reviewed literature, Clarivate Analytic’s, Web of Science and Elsevier’s Scopus. Search terms like institutional repositories, institutional research output, open access repositories, green open access, open access, open access publishing, open access initiatives, digital libraries, directory of open access repositories, open DOAR and scholarly communication were run across the databases for article retrieval, and the relevant studies were extracted accordingly. To make the study more comprehensive and current, the studies citing the retrieved articles were also consulted. The study reveals that the benefits associated with institutional repositories are manifold. They recounter users with the information which was otherwise unavailable due to the reasons ranging from the non-availability of supplementary information (like unpublished reports and working papers, multimedia and audiovisual items, learning objects, other special item types, bibliographic references, datasets, lecture notes and so forth) to the paywall/subscription models adopted by commercial channels of scholarly communication. Furthermore, the social, research and technological factors tend to be the main motivating factors for their wider acceptance by the scholarly community at global, national, organizational, and individual levels. They enhance the preservation of institutional research output with increased viewership and prestige apart from achieving a potential research impact. They, in a real sense, have abrogated the unilateral assault orchestrated by the commercial publishers on the author community by democratizing their scholarly voices via open and barrierless scholarly platforms. They are the future of the academic output of an institution/author as they perform successfully within the constitutional boundaries of scholarly and academic publishing, thus safeguarding the rights and claims of every academic actor. Given the importance of institutional repositories for a more democratic, barrierless and impactful information communication, they are for sure going beyond various scholarly circles by breaking the traditional and rigid walls of scholarly endeavours. The study presents a useful overview of the progression of the institutional repositories, their intended purpose and how they serve to fill the gaps in scholarly publishing and meet the needs of the wider academic community. The article summarizes in one place a concise overview of the use and impact of institutional repositories. The study is also an eye-opener for scholars interested in the research in the field of institutional repositories.

“…The more valuable the benefits and convenience of using QR codes, the more likely consumers will be willing to utilize them. According to the TAM theory, the interaction of the two factors-perceived utility and perceived ease of use-leads to a user's intention to use the technology (behavioural intention to use), leading to actual system use [23]. Additionally, schools need to focus on keeping schools free from the COVID-19 virus.…”

With the emergence of new Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) variants, the COVID-19 pandemic remained a global concern. As a result, the constant need to improve efficiency and credibility while preserving safety measures is of utmost priority. Going paperless is a great way to control the pandemic, and Quick Response (QR) code is an effective way to promote paperless transactions. The researchers incorporated the QR Code and Google Form into the Digitized Health Information Card. The researchers then assessed the QR Code’s effectiveness based on its accessibility, convenience, and the difference between the satisfaction of using digitized health information cards and manual writing. The researchers used SoGoSurvey forms called Product Evaluation and Overall Satisfaction Survey to measure the satisfaction and effectiveness rate of the Digitized Health Information Card. The researchers also used weighted mean to identify its effectiveness using 50 students as respondents who filled out the Google Forms posted on the Facebook page. Based on the data, positive feedback on the accessibility and convenience of using Quick Response code had been interpreted as accessible and very convenient. The findings show that the respondents were very satisfied with filling out digitized health information forms while somewhat unsatisfied with writing manually. As a result of the significant difference, the Quick Response Code is more effective in student welfare.
