A Clinical Reasoning Learning Groupware: An exploratory study of factors affecting the adoption behavior

Mobile-Based Collaborative Learning (MBCL) has become a crucial technology for improving learning services in terms of quality, availability and efficiency at an acceptable cost. Although widespread utilization of smart-phones as well as the acknowledged potential of exploiting them to ameliorate medical learning services notably clinical reasoning learning, the study of the adoption and acceptance intention of such technology by the medicine learners remains a subject open to investigation. Nevertheless, little investigation has been done to draw any systematic study of the medicine learners' intention to adopt and accept Groupware technology, particularly in mobile-based clinical reasoning collaborative learning context. The purpose of the present research work was to propose a theoretic UTAUT-based model (UTAUT: Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) and then investigate it through empirical observation in order to conclude the key elements impacting medicine learners' intention to accept our proposed Groupware system called: Clinical Reasoning Collaborative Learning (CRCL) for clinical reasoning mobile learning.
