Resumen

Las plataformas de aprendizaje basadas en la nube surgieron como una nueva forma portable, confiable y productiva de hacer un seguimiento a clases y conferencias. Particularmente debido al impacto del COVID-19, se convirtieron en herramientas populares debido a su facilidad para monitorear el esfuerzo de los estudiantes, su rendimiento, así como su interacción social durante y después de las clases. La investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la intención de comportamiento de adoptar plataformas virtuales basadas en la nube como Blackboard, Microsoft, Zoom, Edmodo, Sakai y Moodle durante COVID-19. Se hicieron 14 preguntas a 313 estudiantes de escuelas vocacionales de educación superior en el distrito de Izmir, Turquía a través de Google Forms. Análisis PLS-SEM se realizaron mediante el software SmartPLS 4.0 proponiendo la la teoría unificada de aceptación y uso de tecnología (UTAUT). Los resultados mostraron que la varianza de la expectativa de esfuerzo, la intención de comportamiento, y las condiciones facilitadoras explicaron el 75,40% del modelo propuesto. La investigación permite comprender el comportamiento de los estudiantes hacia la aceptación de plataformas de aprendizaje basadas en la nube en caso de que surjan nuevas variantes u otras enfermedades epidémicas en el futuro.
