Regarding to the advantages, it covered Perceived Ease of Use (PEU) Perceived Usefulness (PU), Behavioral Intention to Use (BI) and Actual Use (AU). However, the students faced challenges due to the unfamiliarity with memoQ, emphasizing the necessity for clear operational guidelines and troubleshooting support to optimize its use effectively. Despite these challenges, the students recognized the potential of memoQ, indicating its significant impact on their learning and future professional.
