posted on 2024-10-31, 15:42 authored by A Mendoza, Linda Stern, Jennie Carroll

A number of different factors influence to a user's decision to adopt and continue using a technology. These include perceived ease of use (usability) and perceived usefulness (usefulness), among others. In this paper we examine another factor, ease of learning to use a technology, or 'learnability.' We discuss software design and social influences that can contribute to ease of learning, and discuss the importance of 'learnability' for technology adoption and continued use.
