First, the descriptive statistics of the study elaborated the primary data of the analysis. Secondly, theregression analysis was applied to analyze the relationships demarcated in the theoretical model of the study.Subsequently, the hypotheses were substantiated, by emphasizing the relationship among antecedents and online courseacceptance.
