Among them, university academics had to rely on Zoom Meetings for teaching even if Zoom is generally used as a virtual communication tool. In order to identify future developments in implementing online education strategies, studying the perceptions of academics in using Zoom Meetings for teaching is essential. Therefore, in the present study, Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology was adopted to identify the significant factors contributing to university academics’ intention to continuously use Zoom Meetings for teaching. A sample survey was conducted using a random sample of 350 university academics from Arts and Management faculties of selected state universities in Sri Lanka. Selfenumeration method was used instrumenting a structured questionnaire to collect data. Structural Equation Modelling approach was used to analyse data. It was revealed that university academics’ intention to continuously use Zoom Meetings for teaching is positively associated with performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence and is indirectly associated with facilitating conditions through positive mediating effect of effort expectancy. These findings make important implications on software developers, educational administrators, policymakers, and researchers in different perspectives.  \nKeywords: academics, covid-19, zoom meetings, intention, online education  \nINTRODUCTION  \nOnline education has been considered as an integral part of the education system due to the rapid expansion of technology in the modern world. With the impact of COVID-19 pandemic, online education has become a key factor in higher education even though it had not received sufficient attention in Sri Lanka prior to the pandemic. With the closure of higher education institutes during the pandemic, online education was promoted for teaching, learning and assessment processes alternatively to traditional education system (Rameez, Fowsar & Lumna, 2020) . Despite most of the higher education institutes adopting Learning Management System (LMS) as an online education system, teachers and students still do not seem to show much interest in it. Besides LMS, there are several other technological tools such as Gmail, cloud storages, WhatsApp, and Skype, but they are  \nCitation: Nalaka, G. P. S., Ranagala, D. L., Gunarathne, G. R.

However, during the pandemic, those tools have been utilized for supporting education processes. Among them, Moodle LMS and Zoom Meetings have contributed vastly for online education in higher education institutes in Sri Lanka (Haththotuwa & Rupasinghe, 2021) .  \nAs its name implies, Moodle LMS is dedicated for facilitating education needs as an online learning platform. Since it is a freely-available open-source software, many educational institutes have opted to adopt it as their learning management system. However, unlike Moodle LMS, Zoom Meetin","cbCaiiBM5I5Ofgpd","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiBM5I5Ofgpd","pdf",552566,14,"English","# Introduction\n## Online education and COVID-19 impact\n## Role of LMS and alternative tools\n## Focus on Zoom Meetings\n## Need for UTAUT-based study in Sri Lanka","[{\"question\":\"What study framework was used to examine academics’ intention to keep using Zoom for teaching?\",\"answer\":\"The research adopted the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to identify significant factors behind continuous use intention.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the survey data collected and analyzed?\",\"answer\":\"A random sample survey of 350 university academics used a structured questionnaire with a self-enumeration method.
