Abstract

The research aims to disclose academicians' perceptions of “OTT” (OTT) within the UTAUT-2. In the study, a qualitative research method was implemented. The case study pattern has also been used for the study. The study group of the research was determined through maximum variation sampling from purposive sampling methods. Twenty-six academicians working at the faculties of education of two universities in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey constitute the study group of the study. A semi-structured interview form was employed as a data collection tool. The data were analyzed inductively. MAXQDA 20 program was implemented in data analysis. In terms of performance expectancy, OTT can be integrated into teaching methods and techniques. In terms of effort expectancy, it has also been found that the use of OTT is mostly straightforward, and the fact that it is time-consuming, and challenging does not mean negative and technical problems might occur. Regarding social influence, academicians receive support and advice on using OTT. In terms of facilitating conditions, most academicians perceive themselves as sufficient. In terms of hedonic motivation, academicians are of the opinion that that OTT become enjoyable, primarily if it is used via student participation. It is shown that the difference in the exchange rate within Turkey increases fees as a price value. In further studies, it is possible to refer to the opinions of academicians from various fields based on the relevant theory via the following qualitative and quantitative methods.
