Summary: Different e-learning technologies have different incentive factors that influence behavioral intention. Learners' perceptions and learning behavior may change during the learning period. This study found that the incentive factors influencing behavioral intention differed between CBA and GBA (Kahoot!) in the early stage and fluctuated over the semester. Furthermore, although the CBA class had higher scores than the Kahoot! class for every FA, there was no significant difference in the mid-term and final term scores between the two classes.
