When teachers introduce a new type of technology, they often choose a beginner-friendly software option. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether and how design students' perception towards a beginner-friendly software influences their perception, attitude, and intention to learn other more advanced software. Based on the Technology Acceptance Model, we proposed and tested correlations between students' perception towards beginner-friendly software and their perceptions of other software in the same category. To introduce computational tools for conducting big-data research, we developed a beginner-friendly software called Onion, which allows design students to use computational tools such as data retrieval …
