Abstract
Nowadays, mobile devices have become increasingly a part of
education for those who study or teach at the university level
and school levels. The support of electronic learning (elearning)
is essential to making mobile learning (m-learning)
successful. This paper presents a study that applies mlearning
to a course at Qassim University, where 100 students
attended during the academic year 2014, including summer
courses. The study aims to demonstrate that m-learning
provides students with the ability to engage in reflective
thinking, to share information among peers and to facilitate
the construction of social knowledge. 90 student
questionnaires were filled correctly, remaining 10 had various
anomalies and thus were not considered. The study also aims
to demonstrate that learning provides methods for education
strategies to be easily and rapidly applied. Such strategies
include team work, time management, etc. In order to judge
the feasibility of applying m-learning widely, a questionnaire
was developed. The results indicate that m-learning helps
make the process of education more convenient than in the
past. A major disadvantage of applying m-learning is
inadequate wireless network bandwidth.
Keywords: m-learning, e-learning, learning experiences. |
