Abstract

Abstract COVID-19 changed working and learning mechanism around the globe. Most of the business, services sectors including education started their functions in online mode. This study investigated the intentions and use behaviors of the students to accept information and mobile technology for the learning processes in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Asian Countries Pakistan, Bangladesh and China. Multi-method was applied to get the objectives of the model using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model and theory of planned behaviors. Focus Group Discussion from Bangladesh and the case study of China and the cross-sectional data result shows that university student’s acceptance of information system based learning is reasonably well. However, students were feeling anxiety due to load shedding and change in routine, therefore, the result showed negative relation with the intentions to use information system and mobile for online learning. Moreover, the learners also demanded for the implementation IR4.0 in Pakistan and Bangladesh has got full support for online teaching-learning and services like research.
