It is indisputable that technology advances exponentially, and people try to adapt to change constantly, however, the change is so fast that many times users can get uncomfortable with the new technology and generate resistance to its use. For this reason, the intention of this study is to propose a model of acceptance of educational modifying the TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) to the needs of the educational context, by adding the variable perception of playful. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UANL, where 100 surveys were applied to undergraduate students, obtaining a good reliability in the designed instrument. Later, the statistical package, SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) was used to analyze the data, using the method of successive steps of the multivariate regression. The results of the study show that there are significant relationships between the variables in he proposed model. In general, the study shows in a clear and parsimonious way the most important factors that influence the acceptance of the Nexus platform, therefore, it is concluded that it can be applied in the acceptance of educational technology.
