It has had a ripple effect throughout Saudi Arabia's educational system. One of the results of this shift is the rise of e- learning, which requires technological means for delivery. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the elements that influence Saudi university students' acceptance of technology in teaching and learning. Data were obtained from 309 students. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. Surveys were used as the primary technique of data collection for this study. The results of the survey show that perceived ease of use, technical support, training, and content quality are expressively related to the acceptance of technology among university students. This study also provides evidence that there is a direct variation in people's acceptance of new technology, which helps explain 73.5 percent of people's acceptance of new technology. The results of the study will provide empirical data regarding the effective adoption of technology in Saudi universities, which will help in the growth of teaching and learning in the country. Similarly, the findings of the study may be of interest to researchers and policymakers in Saudi Arabia in providing the fundamentals for the acceptance and utilization of technology in education.

Introduction *Because of the rapid developments in technology, keeping up with them and incorporating new technologies into all aspects of life is vital. Many countries have made a significant investment of a significant amount of money in information and communications technologies in order to improve the content of quality education (Al-Mamary, 2022a). Similarly, Buabeng-Andoh (2012) found that countless governments have made a multilateral investment in new advanced technology to enhance academic teaching and learning. Equally, regardless of the huge percentage of these alternative investments in telecommunications innovations and communication systems, and expert advancement to enhance the standard of the learning process, * Corresponding Author.

Technology has been acclaimed all over the world for decades. The impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on teaching and learning is an enthralling subject that must be grasped in order to predict the outcome (Pandey and Pandey, 2020). Al-Mamary et al. (2021) wrote that in today’s generation, economic system, and heritage, suggestions for future research appear to suggest that technology is significantly altering the norm. Understanding as well as effective implementation of new changes are as vitally valuable as their formal emergence. This issue is particularly pertinent in light of the present health crisis, particularly in terms of education. Learning institutions' practices are altering as a result of technology implementation. On the other hand, digital transformation in the academic learning and teaching process would have to be extremely successful in the eyes of all various stakeholder groups, including students, professors, and higher education institution management.
