Google Classroom Adoption by University Students

Technology adoption and integration research reports have inundated literature. Most of such research studies have focused on technology adoption and integration by faculty and teachers. Very few studies have focused on technology adoption by students. Yet findings from studies on integration have emphasized the need to also consider factors that affect students' adoption of such technologies. Such studies elucidate that faculty cannot successfully integrate technology in teaching and learning if students are left out of the equation. The study reported herein concurs with such findings and highlights the need for administrators to provide necessary training to faculty members as well as students and ensure that sufficient, up-to-date hardware and software and fast internet are provided to ensure successful integration of the technologies in teaching and learning.
