Abstract
The use of new information technology impacts individual work as well as the whole organization. This paper illuminates some preliminary findings from an ongoing study about impacts of the new educational technology in educational organization and individual work. The main question answered in this article is why has information technology being taken into use in certain higher education cases and by whom? Empirical findings are discussed and compared with technology acceptance model (TAM) and theoretical extension of the model (TAM2). Findings suggest that perceived usefulness plays very crucial role when adapting new technology, but there are also other important factors.

The results suggested that TAM was able to provide a reasonable depiction of physicians' intention to use telemedicine technology, and suggested both the limitations of the parsimonious model and the need for incorporating additional factors or integrating with other IT acceptance models in order to improve its specificity and explanatory utility in a health-care context.
