The document discusses a study conducted to ascertain the acceptance level of an eTest Generator as an eLearning tool among faculty and administration of Silliman University's College of Nursing. 26 respondents participated in a survey assessing the perceived usefulness and ease of use of the eTest Generator based on the Technology Acceptance Model. The study found that respondents perceived the eTest Generator as a useful and somewhat easy to use eLearning tool. There was also a significant positive relationship between perceived usefulness and ease of use. It is highly recommended that Silliman University develop and deploy the eTest Generator to realize its strategic plan of integrating eLearning.

for
an
eTest
Generator
by
answering
the

research
quesFons:
1. What
is
the
level
of
perceived
usefulness
of
an
eTest
Generator
as
an
eLearning
tool?
2. What
is
the
level
of
perceived
ease
of
use
of
an
eTest
Generator
as
an
eLearning
tool?
3. Is
there
a
relaFonship
between
perceived
usefulness
and
perceived
ease
of
use
of
an
eTest
Generator
as
an
eLearning
tool?

17. Answering
the
Research
QuesPons:
1. What
is
the
level
of
perceived
usefulness
of
an
eTest
Generator
as
an
eLearning
tool
among
the
respondents?
With
a
high
weighted
mean
of
5.8,
the
respondents
perceived
eTest
as
a
useful
eLearning
tool
for
SUCN.
2. What
is
the
level
of
perceived
ease
of
use
of
an
eTest
Generator
as
an
eLearning
tool
among
the
respondents?
With
a
high
weighted
mean
of
5.2,
the
respondents
perceived
eTest
Generator
as
somewhat
easy
to
use
as
an
eLearning
tool
for
SUCN.
3. Is
there
a
relaFonship
between
the
perceived
usefulness
and
perceived
ease
of
use
of
an
eTest
Generator
as
an
eLearning
tool.
Using
Pearson

CorrelaGon
Coefficient,
with
(p-­‐value
=

<
(α
=
0.05),
the
data
provide
enough
evidence
that
there
is
a
significant
posiGve
relaGonship
between
the
two
variables
–
perceived
usefulness
and
perceived
ease
of
use.
In
general,
respondents
perceived
eTest
Generator
as
an
acceptable
eLearning
tool
because
it
is
useful
and
somewhat
easy
to
use
for
SUCN.

Generator
be
developed
and
deployed
as
an
eLearning
tool.

20. ²
Highly
recommended
to
the
management
of
Silliman
University
that
