Abstract:
With the popularity of mobile devices, learning
through mobile device proliferated in the education sector. Now
a day’s mobile devices and mobile technologies are advancing
rapidly. Therefore, mobile learning surpassing all other
educational servicing methods. On the other hand, human life
style averts stagnated education and demanding synchronous
mode education such as learning while working. In this study we
set out to look-over influencing factors on mobile devices for
applicable and sustainable mobile learning environment. In this
study we propose an impact model consists six influencing
factors i.e. screen size, supportive software, screen zooming,
video playback control, touch screen keyboard, and language
predictive tools. 120 university teachers and learners with equal
portion in each category participated on the model evaluation
through pre and post survey questionnaires. Initially they faced
pre survey questionnaire with their prior mobile learning
experience and finally took the post survey questionnaire after
successfully working on the Moodle mobile app modified by first
author. The results revealed that the most significant impact
factor in the proposed model was ‘screen zooming’. Hence, when
designing applicable and sustainable mobile learning
environment it should be considered that, the screen zooming as
the most significant mobile device feature for learner and
teacher to adopt in mobile learning.
