Predicting the acceptance of cloud-based virtual learning environment: The roles of Self Determination and Channel Expansion Theory

The emergence of the cloud computing technology has further enhanced the capabilities of the cloud-based virtual learning environment (VLE) compared to the grid computing based VLE as teaching resources can be accessed, saved, retrieved and shared on the cloud any time any where without any limitati...
