Biography

Caroline Stockman is Senior Lecturer in Education Studies at the University of Winchester, UK.

This is certainly a book that should be found on the book shelves of the seasoned researchers in technology acceptance and those in other disciplines.’ - Timothy Teo-Distinguished Professor of Education-University of Macau-China SAR
