Abstract
E-learning is an inevitable trend of education in the future. Although there are several researches about E-learning based on cloud computing, not many researches on the cloud computing adoption model, on the other hand, there are not many studies on the adoption of cloud-based E-learning in Vietnam and in the World. This study adapts the extended of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) [48] to research the acceptance and use of E-learning based on cloud computing in Vietnam. These elements, namely facilitating condition, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, hedonic motivation, price value and habit influence on the intention and use of cloud-based E-Learning, the results show that seven out of eleven hypotheses are supported. The results will help implementing E-learning based on cloud and learning strategies to be more successful.
