Mobile learning is posited to be an effective learning tool for various learners. However, limited studies have been conducted to explore formal part-time learners' behavior towards mobile learning. Therefore, this study investigated the level of acceptance of mobile learning by formal part-time learners in Malaysia. A theoretical model was developed based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and formal part-time learners' attributes such as self-directed learning, prior mobile learning experience, learning readiness, and orientation to learning. The developed model and hypotheses were examined using a questionnaire, and measurement and structural models were analysed using SmartPLS (v 3.2.7). The participants of the study comprised 394 formal part-time learners enrolled in five public universities in Malaysia. Finding confirmed the significant influence of self-directed learning, learning readiness, effort expectancy, performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions in predicting the mobile learning behavioral intention and usage behavior. These findings can be considered by practitioners to enhance behavioral intention towards m-learning usage. The attributes of formal parttime learners toward the usage of m-learning in public universities were properly underlined in this study. This study's main contribution would be to aid in the exploration of formal part-time learners' characteristics, which would aid m-learning practitioners in developing the necessary applications and strategies.
The emergence of electronic commerce online shopping has significantly increased the use of mail-order within Kolej University Poly-Tech Mara (KUPTM) communities. The tracking system provided by the courier services offers the status of delivery for each parcel until it reaches the designated destination. However, inefficiencies of managing the parcels at KUTPM may causing lost or misplaced. Therefore, the study offers an innovative approach where the study intended to invent a parcel tracking delivery and management systems for KUPTM communities. In particular, this invention relates to computerized tracking of delivered parcels using the barcode or tracking number that will notify recipients via Short Message Service (SMS) notification. The primary purpose of this study is to develop an efficient and secured system called the Parcel Tracking System. The system used a web-based service for managing and tracking the parcel. The development method of this system uses PHP and JavaScript programming languages in Adobe Dreamweaver platform with MySQL programme as the backend of the system. This paper focuses on the development process of the Parcel Tracking System. The findings found that the efficiencies of parcel tracking and security management are significantly improved. The application of Parcel Tracking System is promising and efficient for KUPTM communities. It is evidently that the proposed system was found successful and beneficial for KUPTM communities in tracking and managing parcels efficiently.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
