Abstract

The transition towards a smart university in Algeria represents a major advancement in modernizing the higher education sector. This study aims to assess student satisfaction with the PROGRES platform. The objective of our study is to evaluate student satisfaction with the PROGRES platform. To achieve this objective, we based on a literature review and the TAM model (technology acceptance model). To develop a conceptual model, then test the hypotheses with a random sample of 500 students. A conceptual model was developed and tested using a random sample of 500 students. The results of the structural equation modelling using the PLS approach (SEM-PLS) reveal that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, influenced by facilitating conditions, have a positive impact, on thebehavioural intention towards the actual use of the digital platform PROGRES and consequently on student satisfaction with it.
