Paper Abstract:
|
Universities all around the world are striving to enhance learning through the use of innovative information and
communication technologies. The high level of student ownership of mobile devices means that ubiquitous learning
(anytime, anywhere) is becoming a possibility and universities want to engage with the generation of digital natives
who now comprise the majority student cohort. This paper reports on the results of a survey of four hundred and forty
two postgraduate and undergraduate students at an Australian university about their positive and negative attitudes to the
use of mobile technology in education. An analysis of the qualitative survey findings is presented focusing on the
ramifications for m-learning practices in university learning and teaching environments. |
