Paper Abstract:
|
This study examines the factors that are associated with user satisfaction of ubiquitous learning (u-Learning), where in
four major factors are identified that influence interaction and learning performance. A survey of 226 u-Learning users
was conducted and the data collected was used to test theoretically expected relationships. To verify the research model,
the validity of the models factors and reliability analyses were inspected. The results of the analyses, by LISREL, were
as follows. First, the ubiquitous characteristics such as pervasive connectivity and context awareness had a significant
influence on the effectiveness of the u-Learning systems. Second, the characteristics of the learner such as academic
motivation and flow played an important role in the effectiveness of u-Learning systems. Third, the learner's interaction
factors had an important influence in regard to the performance of u-Learning systems. |
