This study established a newly integrative model to explain the determinants of Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) students’ Behavior Intention BIs toward using online distance learning (ODL) at an IPTA level.

Data were collected from 181 participants with experience in using online distance learning (ODL). The results shown a high consistency and reliability, thereby demonstrating that the proposed model holds substantial a new explanatory. This study revealed that technology readiness is a key factor that significantly influences Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) student's BIs toward using online distance learning (ODL).
