Behavioural Intention to   BIU1: I plan to attend online classes more frequently
         Use (BIU) Online learning  to continue my studies.
                                    BIU2: I propose replacing classroom teaching with
                                    online classes.
                                    BIU3: I will recommend the online classes to others.
                                    BIU4: I intend to attend the online lectures in the
                                    future.
                                    BIU5: Now I know the mechanism and usefulness of
                                    online lectures; I would prefer to attend the same in
                                    the next semester / year.

        Data analysis                           AMOS 21.0 software. (Table- 3 Summary
                                                of  Reliability  &  Validity  for  Measured
        Data collected  through  the  structured
        questionnaire  was  analyzed  using     Model)
        software’s  like  SPSS  &  AMOS  21  while
        for descriptive analysis Excel was used.   •   Cronbach’s  alpha    (Internal
        SEM was performed on the collected         Consistency):
        data which included analysis of data at    Using SPSS 21.00 Cronbach’s alpha
        two levels i.e. the measurement model      was calculated for the measured
        and  the  second  being  the  structure    model;  this  value  shows  the
        model.                                     consistency  of items in  a set in
                                                   measuring the concept. This value
        The Measurement Model                      usually ranges between 0 & 1, any
                                                   value more than 0.70 is considered
        The model used for the study had four      to  be  acceptable  (Gliem,  J.  A.,  &
        measured  variables  like:  Perceived      Gliem, R. R., 2003).  Cronbach’s
        Complexity in using  the Internet (PCI),   alpha  for all the  measured model
        Perceived  Usefulness  (PU),  Attitude     used in  this research were above
        towards  Usage  (ATU)  and  Behavioural    0.8 which indicates that items in the
        Intention  to  Use (BIU)  Online  learning.   set were consistent in measuring
        Each of these latent variables were        the concept. (Table- 3 Summary of
        measured using  various indicators.        Reliability  &  Validity  for  Measured
        The Measurement Model was used to          Model)
        understand  the  relationship  between
        these latent variables and indicators.   •   Composite  Reliability  (Internal
        The psychometric properties of  the        Consistency Reliability):
        model  with  regards  to  reliability  &   Composite Reliability (CR), has a
        construct validly  (which  included  both   more retrospective approach of
        Convergent  validity  and  Discriminant    measuring  overall reliability  of
        validity)  were  calculated.  To  test  the   consistency of framed constructs in
        reliability  and  validity  of  measured   terms of  equivalence  and  stability.
        model calculations were done in Excel      The acceptable value for composite
        using the outputs derived from SPSS &      reliability should be 0.70 or above
