Abstract—The current study explores Continuous Intention (CI) to use electronic learning (e-learning) as an educational tool among university students through the prism of a post-pandemic theoretical framework. Despite e-learning technology’s latest launch in academia, very little has been done to evaluate its effects. To examine what factors impact the continuous intention to use E-learning, this paper contemplates incorporating the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with Self-Determination Theory (SDT). University students were asked to fill out questionnaire forms that were designed to gather data for the proposed model. This study employed a linear Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The empirical results indicated that perceived usefulness and autonomy are significant predictors of the continued intention to use E-learning in the Thai context. Contrarily, the CI was unaffected by Perceived ease of use. Overall, theoretical and practical ramifications are addressed.
