Personal learning environments acceptance model: the role of need for cognition, e-learning satisfaction and students’ perceptions

As long as students use Web 2.0 tools extensively for social purposes, there is an opportunity to improve students' engagement in Higher Education by using these tools for academic purposes under a Personal Learning Environment approach (PLE 2.0). The success of these attempts depends upon the...
