AbstractMobile devices have become a trend of attractive learning devices for education. Advances in technology of electronic products add more possibilities of mobile learning. Currently, more and more people use the Tablet computers, which have also been suitable for mobile learning due to the merit of the screen rendering, user-friendly interface, and system performance. In this study, a vocational high school was considered as an example in employing HTC Flyer Tablet computer, its software and digital teaching platform. We investigated the user behavior of first year students of all disciplines in the vocational high school after the Tablet computers-assisted teaching activities was implemented. We adopted questionnaire survey in which the questionnaire items were classified into four facets of performance expectation, effort expectation, social impact and facilitating conditions based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) - Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The research results indicated that the facet of intention of use of Tablet computer was proportionally affected by the other three facets of effort expectation, social impact and facilitating conditions, which can be referenced by future Tablet computer-assisted teaching tool integrated with and employed in teaching activities and implementation. Index TermsTablet computers, unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, teaching aids, e-learning. I. RESEARCH BACKGROUND Employing e-learning to assist traditional in-class learning has been the trend of modern education. But very often the implementation of e-learning was limited to the insufficiency of hardware facilities and design of learning activities, which resulted in decrease of learning motive of student and flexibility of implementation. This research provided each freshman and teacher in a vocational high school with a HTC Flyer Tablet computer and the installed e-learning software and platform, which was supported by the e-learning Manuscript received October 29, 2016; revised January 12, 2017.

We thought it’s worth to study the effect of collaborative learning in which traditional in-class learning was assisted with the tool of Tablet computer. In this research, we conducted a teaching activity which was implemented in a vocational high school for freshman to investigate the students’ interest in knowledge exploration, in-class participation, after-class information collection, and the effect of learning activities by employing Tablet computer-assisted teaching under the same learning conditions of time spent in a course and facilities so as to understand students’ continuance intention of use after one year of experience of Tablet computer-assisted learning. In this research, we investigated users’ intention of use and effect of Tablet computer-assisted teaching activities by employing Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) by Venkatesh et al. as our research architecture [2]. The investigated issues were as follows: 1) Understood the users’ acceptance of Tablet computer-assisted teaching activities. 2) Studied each significant correlation between four facets of performance expectation, effort expectation, social impact, and facilitating conditions and one facet of intention of use. 3) Investigated the difference of intention of use in the facets of performance expectation, effort expectation, social impact, and facilitating conditions affected by the factor of student’ background. II. SURVEYS OF LITERATURES A. IT Integrated Teaching and Tablet Computers Aid Learning In [3], Tseng indicated that IT integrated teaching can be customized to individual learning to promote learning effect. In [4], Yang indicated that teachers would design more diverse teaching contents and students would also increase interest of learning by using Tablet computer in teaching or remedial teaching, which increased the interaction between users and promoted the teaching effect.
