摘要：This study incorporates principles derived from ‘mindful technology adoption’, instructional design, technology acceptance models, and target learner needs assessments in order to determine whether or not e-learning technologies would be used by multi-organizational health administrators in their re-accreditation processes. It was initially hypothesized that these non- traditional, geographically dispersed, computer literate learners would be likely to use the e- learning technologies, due to course flexibility, their full time work status, age and other variables. Results indicate that the sample had lower than expected intentions to use online learning resources, predictions that they would to use online learning resources, and plans to use an online learning system. The design of this study and its results are a case study that lends support for the need for mindful adoption of e-learning technologies. A needs assessment addressing the likeliness of technology acceptance is a critical first step in designing e-learning delivery systems, in order to ensure that e-learning technology investments are worthwhile.
