Paper Abstract:
|
Effectively integrating m-learning into higher education necessitates consideration for both student and educator adoption factors. Data collected from 309 Canadian university participants in a Mobile Information Literacy (MIL) research study identified specific student m-learning adoption factors and substantiated those in the literature (Navarro et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2009). Recent m-learning studies (Abu-Al-Aisb, & Love, 2013; Ally & Blásque, 2014) indicated that institutional and educator support is needed to support student m-learning adoption. Our research findings supported this and inspired the researchers to establish a new study to investigate educator attitudes toward integrating m-learning in their teaching and to understand how institutions can support such individuals. Study results intend to support educators focused on pedagogical transformation, to successfully integrate sustainable m-learning in their physical and virtual classrooms. |
