• In Event: Learning on the Go: Mobile Devices in Education

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the factors affecting the use of mobile learning in a Korean online university. Suggested predictors are perceived attributes of innovation, that is, relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability. The study employed structural equation modeling in order to examine the causal relationships among perceived attributes of innovation, learners’ intention to use mobile learning, and the actual use of mobile learning. Data from 200 college students registered for an online course were analyzed, and the result indicated that relative advantage and complexity had significant effects on the intention to use mobile learning. Further results will be discussed in the presentation.
