Abstract
In the last decades, the incorporation of online learning platforms to higher education means that students live with an unknown element in their social lives. So, their involvement with technologies depends on a number of factors. Through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) of Arteaga and Duarte (2010), created by Devis (1984), which is based on the psychological theory of Azjen and Fishbein (1980), the opinions of primary education degree seeking students at the University of Cordoba (N=546) were collected. Specifically, their opinions on Moodle, a platform to develop online training at said university, through the establishment of 23 working hypotheses. The main results have been confirmed that the English model can be applied in a Spanish context without risk of loss or information bias. On the other hand, it has been found that sex is not a predictor of success or failure in the acceptance of this technology nor the previous training thata student has. The use of TAM in Spanish higher education will revert to a more efficient way of emerging technologies that are incorporated more and more everyday into university teaching.
