Colombian business schools are undergoing a significant shift towards virtual education, marked by declining enrollment in traditional programs and sustained growth in online learning. A study of 807 business students revealed that satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and perceived quality are key drivers of students' intention to continue participating in virtual classes. This highlights the critical factors for sustaining engagement in online educational environments.
Why it matters
Understanding the drivers of student continuance intention in virtual education is critical for educational institutions facing evolving enrollment trends and technological integration. This insight allows for strategic planning to ensure the long-term viability and quality of online programs, addressing declining interest in traditional models.
