Paper Abstract:
|
BlackBerry Mobile Learning, is a relatively new tool in the pedagogical arsenal to assist students and teachers as they navigate the options available in the expanding distance learning world. We carried out a pilot study to investigate the usability and usefulness of Blackberry mobile device among higher education students. The target group of this study consists of 63 university students from the college of Medicine, King Saud University. The results of the statistical analysis demonstrate that studentsÂ’ perceived usefulness, subjective norm, attitude, perceived ease of use, and perceived financial resources have a positive effect on educational uses of the Blackberry among higher education students. |
