This indicated that voluntariness wasimportant for the initial acceptance behavior, but not for continued use [19]. While this studydoes not focus specifically on e-learning use in higher education, it does identify a generalrelationship between system use and voluntariness; understanding the relationship betweenactual use and voluntariness is important for developing a model describing the involuntary useof e-learning that students faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.Impact of Learning Style and Personality on E-Learning Use Several studies have also sought to develop an understanding of
