Abstract

In recent years, digital learning has received more attention from the field of education, and many schools in Taiwan have begun to introduce the cloud-computing classroom platform as another learning environment for students. However, as there remains a lack of research on fit and performance in the cloud-computing classroom, this study attempts to explore students' views and effects when using the cloud-computing classroom. The research methods include case study and survey. Case study involved interviews with 18 students regarding their motivations and usage of the Ming Chuan University cloudcomputing classroom. Based on the interview results, this study proposed three propositions, which were converted to three hypotheses. We collected data from a field survey and our results showed that (1) the user's needs positively and affect the perceived fit; (2) the user's usage of the cloud-computing classroom positively and affects the perceived fit; (3) the perceived fit in the usage of the cloudcomputing classroom positively and affect user performance. Implications for academic researchers and practitioners are discussed.
