Abstract:
Mobile learning is a novel learning technique
prevailing in the modern world. It has been identified that the
important and balanced contribution from different
stakeholders are required to create an environment for a better
mobile learning experience. There are many reasons for
learners to select mobile learning as an environment for their
academic activities. The main objective of this study is
modelling the learner influencing factors on mobile learning
adoption for their learning activities in applicable and
sustainable manner. The six main adoption factors are
identified for the proposed model namely usefulness,
interactivity, motivation, attitude, facilitating conditions, and
ease of use. In the evaluation process, online pre-usage and postusage questionnaires were used to introduce above six factors
and 150 undergraduate students were obtained as a sample.
Initially, the students were asked to fill the pre-usage
questionnaire and secondly, they were obtained in the novel
mobile learning system by using its features and facilities and
finally, asked to fill the post-usage questionnaire. Results of the
present study reveals that the most significant influencing
factor is “Interactivity” on the learner’s mobile learning
adoption. In conclusion, incorporating interactivity, usefulness,
motivation, attitude, facilitating conditions and ease of use into
the mobile learning adoption can better explain the learner
perspectives in applicable and sustainable mobile learning
framework.
