Mobile Learning Services Acceptance Model Among Malaysian Higher Education Students

Mobile learning (m-learning) is considered as the next form of e-learning using mobile technologies to facilitate education for teachers and learners anywhere and anytime. Engaging the m-learning services in the Malaysian higher education could improve the availability of education. Students’ awareness of such technology is a key for success acceptance. This research aims to study the acceptance and use of m-learning services among Malaysian higher education students. The main objective is to propose a students' acceptance model of m-learning in the higher education environment. The study investigates the students’ acceptance of behavior intention to use m-learning and its effect on usage behavior in the higher education environment. It provides the knowledge base about the current state of students’ awareness about m-learning services. The study found that both of the environment and the infrastructure are appropriate to diffuse and utilize m-learning in the higher education environment. Furthermore, the results showed that the students have adequate knowledge and awareness to use such technology in their education environment. The limitations of m-learning for education were well concerned by students. The students’ perspective is very important to investigate the use behavior of m-learning in the higher education environment. Findings of the study suggest that the behavior intention to use the m-learning by students in the higher education environment have positive influence on the use behavior. Consequently, the availability of facilitating conditions is an important to influence students’ use behavior. The study suggests several factors as important determinants of the behavior intention to use the m-learning in the higher education environment. Specifically, behavior intension to use appears to be adopted and facilitated by the usefulness of m-learning services, so more usefulness of m-learning leads to more acceptances among students in the higher educatio

Proposed research model for students' acceptance of m-learning services among Malaysian higher education

Mobile learning (m-learning) is considered the next form of e-learning using mobile technologies to facilitate education for teachers and learners anywhere and anytime. Engaging the m-learning services in the Malaysian higher education could improve the availability of education.This study intends to develop a theoretical model for explaining and predicting student acceptance and use of m-learning services in the Malaysian higher education environment.Students’ perspective is very important to investigate the use behavior of m-learning in the higher education environment.The proposed research model for students’ acceptance of m- learning services is constructed base on literature review.The model expands the belief concept in Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2) and Innovation and Diffusion Theory (IDT) by including five more constructs that are perceived service quality, perceived Trust, facilitating condition, and cost of service.Findings of model’s reliability show highly reliable

Student’s mobile information prototype (SMIP) for the higher education environment

M-learning is considered as the next form of e-learning using mobile technologies to facilitate education for teachers and learners.Students need to keep in touch with their education services anytime regardless the place. Engaging the m-learning services in the Malaysian higher education will improve the availability of education.This paper discusses the development and user’s evaluation of Student’s Mobile Information Prototype (SMIP). The study aims to utilize mobile learning services to facilitate education for students in the higher education environment.The Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) was adapted to develop the SMIP. Results of user’s evaluation on the SMIP indicate that most of the participants highly agreed on Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Learnability, Functionality, and Didactic Efficiency

Students' awareness and requirements of mobile learning services among Malaysian students in the higher education environment

M-learning is considered as the next generation of e-learning using mobile technologies.It has been aviable alternative for online learning.Students’awareness of such technology is one of the most focus for success adoption.This study aims to investigate students' awareness and requirements of mobile learning services among Malaysian students in the higher education environment.The study found that the higher education environment now has the necessary mobile technology infrastructure to utilize m-learning.Moreover, the results of the survey show that students have adequate knowledge and good awareness to use such technology in their education environment.Regarding the university mobile applications that students would like to use individually through mobile technologies, the exam result and course registration were the highest in rank, followed by calendar and schedule services.The highest limitations were the cost of transaction and slow data exchange with networks, followed by concerns over confidentiality of personal information

Student’s mobile information prototype for the higher education environment

Problem statement: M-learning is considered as the next form of e-learning using mobile technologies to facilitate education for teachers and learners. Students need to keep in touch with their education services anytime regardless the place. Engaging the m-learning services in the Malaysian higher education will improve the availability of education. This study discusses the development and user’s evaluation of Student’s Mobile Information Prototype (SMIP). The study aims to utilize mobile learning services to facilitate education for students in the higher education environment. Approach: The Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) was adapted to develop the SMIP. The evaluation was conducted to determine users’ perception on the usability aspect of the SMIP. Results: Results of user’s evaluation on the SMIP indicate that most of the participants highly agreed on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, learn ability, functionality and didactic efficiency. Moreover, the results confirm that SMIP is useful for users to make their transactions easy, direct and successful, regardless of location and time. Conclusion: It is hoped that the findings of this study will encourage students to keep in touch with their education environment anywhere and anytime
