Abstract
Abstract– Teaching with technologies is a major research topic in higher education. This study evaluated the student's perspective about the factors that affect the use or intention to use these technologies. An instrument based on the UTAUT2 model was designed and applied to 250 university students, achieving only 101 complete responses for analysis. A multivariate correlational statistical analysis was performed using the PLS-SEM. The intention to use online technologies in educational plans was mainly based on hedonic reasons, the improvement of the level of performance expected by its use, the individual habit of using it, the influence of the social circle, the value obtained by its use, its ease of use and the availability of facilitating conditions. This must be considered by universities.
