At present, the application of network information technology in some extent is gradually changing the traditional teaching and learning mode. Theoretically speaking, the information technology has the potential to improve student learning, but the prerequisite is that this new technique must be accepted by learners. If you don't consider learners'using attitude and intention on information technology, even design perfect network platform environment, its utility also won't play fully.Why learners will accept or refuse to use information technology or network learning platform? Which factors influence the learners accepting and using information technology in the online learning? This study focuses on the learner's acceptance and cognition on network information technology. Reference the information technology acceptance research in other field, this study introduces the Rational Behavior Theory, the Theory of Planned Behavior and Davis'Technology Acceptance Model into network education domain as theoretical basis. From a technical perspective, this paper analyzes the factors which influence the learners accepting network information technology, discusses the relationship between the factors such as cognition, faith and learners'using attitude and intention, then propose the technology acceptance hypothesis model; Then reference to previous research and after some interviews, this study designs the influencing factors questionnaire of learners'acceptance on online learning platform, implements the questionnaire survey and uses SPSS to analyze the data. Finally, this study gets the following conclusions.Through multiple linear regression analysis, the study gets the factors that have direct influence on the attitude are:perceived usefulness of information technology, resources promotion, perceived ease of technology use, peer effects and learners self-efficacy. But teachers and technical support do not impact on students'attitude.the factors that have direct influence on the using intention are:perceived usefulness of information technology, peer effects and resources promotion. Join the attitude which is a intermediary variable, the factors that have influence on the using intention are:using attitude, peer effects and perceived usefulness of information technology. So using attitude is partial intermediary between peer effects, perceived usefulness of information technology and using intention, is fully intermediary between resources promotion and using intention. Finally, on the basis of theoretical analysis and empirical research, this study gets technology acceptance model under the online learning environment. And proposes corresponding strategy in order to promote learners to accept and use online learning environment.
