مستخلص: The incorporation of digital technology in education represents a substantial transformation in the realm of academia. In the present day, with new technology being readily available to both educators and students, educational institutions encourage their students to embrace it, enabling students facing geographical constraints to easily continue their education through internet-based learning. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the viewpoints of undergraduate students in the field of mass communication concerning the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the UAE. Based on a Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the data were gathered using structured questionnaires. Results revealed that knowledge sharing and accessibility are significant factors affecting the perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness among the undergraduate students. Further, perceived ease of use significantly affects perceived usefulness. Finally, both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness remained as significant factors regarding ICT acceptance among the Emirati students. It is concluded that educational institutions must invest significantly in robust IT infrastructure. This step ensures that e-learning experiences are seamless and accessible to all students. Further, to address some students' connectivity challenges, offering alternative access options or providing offline resources can be beneficial. Finally, the practical implications and limitations are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
