Abstract Details

2024, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Instructional Technology (Education).
This study investigated the graduate students’ perceptions toward using cloud technology in their learning and how they use cloud technology in education. A qualitative case study was conducted to attain the study's objectives. The data was collected by interviewing a purposeful sample consisting of 10 participants, Ph.D. students in the Instructional Technology Program at Ohio University. The study relied on factors of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology UTAUT2 model to examine students’ intentions to utilize cloud technology. The findings of the study revealed a modified model influencing the use of cloud technology. The UTAUT 2 factors and trust influence students' intention and usage of cloud technology, whereas the perceived future with other factors influences students' behavior. Findings showed that students have positive perceptions toward using cloud technology in education. Findings from the data analysis also indicated that students used cloud technology for academic and personal purposes. The key aspects of academic use were using cloud technology to enhance collaboration and communication with effective interaction. Cloud technology was considered a significant technology to promote learning productivity and skills development. Findings supported the usage of cloud technology to carry out daily personal tasks.
