The survey results were analyzed using descriptive statistics to investigate the quantitative data, while thematic analysis was used to study the qualitative data obtained from interviews. Based on the research findings, the TAM framework identifies two main categories: Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use. The Perceive Usefulness category comprises four categories: CANVAS Engagement Time, CANVAS Enhances Interaction, Learning Efficacy, and Effective Communication, CANVAS Enhances Language Learning, and CANVAS Boosting Students' Confidence and Motivation in a Fun Way. In addition, the Perceive Ease of Use category comprises three categories: CANVAS Usability in Mobile Learning Environments, CANVAS User-Friendly Design, and CANVAS Seamless Navigation and Accessibility.
