“…Because of the exploratory nature of this study, this study adopts a quantitative methodology based on the use of an online survey of smartphone users in China. Surveys are a popular method for acquiring relevant information on behaviors, social characteristics and attitudes of a specific population on a given topic (Bird, 2009; Rhee et al , 2009; Sek et al , 2016). In this study, the use of an online survey can lead to a better understanding of the information security behaviors of smartphone users in China.…”

Purpose Understanding user behavior is increasingly critical for information security in the use of smartphones. There is, however, lack of empirical studies about the behavior of smartphone users for information security in China. The purpose of this paper is to present an empirical analysis of the behavior of smartphone users in China in relation to information security. Design/methodology/approach A review of the related literature is conducted, leading to the development of a questionnaire for investigating the behavior of smartphone users. An online survey of the smartphone users in China is conducted. The collected data are analyzed with the use of descriptive analysis and Pearson’s chi-square test to better understand the behavior of smartphone users on information security. Findings The paper shows that there are serious concerns about information security in the use of smartphones in China including the ignorance of security information in downloading and using applications, inadequate phone settings, inappropriate enabling of add-on utilities and lack of proper disaster recovery plans. The study also reveals that there is a significant difference between different groups of users on information security in smartphone use. Research limitations/implications This paper is based on a purposeful sample of smartphone users in China. It is exploratory in nature. Practical implications The paper can lead to a better understanding of the behavior of smartphone users and information security in China and provide relevant government departments and institutions with useful information for developing appropriate strategies and policies and designing specific training programs to improve information security in the smartphone use. Originality/value This paper is the first of this kind to collect quantitative data from users in China for better understanding the behavior of smartphone users on information security. It provides insight towards the adoption of various measures for information security from the perspective of smartphone users in China.

“…eLearning can be approached from different viewpoints including the educational paradigm and the delivery orientation (Lee, Yoon and Lee, 2009;Sek et al, 2016). Educational philosophers view eLearning as a self-regulated knowledge acquisition practice achieved through various learning processes including interactions using digital technologies (Lee, Yoon and Lee, 2009;Sek et al, 2015).…”

There are growing interests in improving teaching and learning performance through eLearning using specific emerging technologies in higher education. As a result, understanding the impact of using such technologies on the performance of teaching and learning is becoming important. This experimental study investigates the impact of eLearning using instant messaging on the performance of teaching and learning in higher education in developing countries. Pre-test and post-test surveys are used for collecting experimental data from participants to investigate the impact of using instant messaging on teaching and learning. Data analysis conducted quantitatively using SPSS reveals that eLearning using instant messaging improves teaching and learning. In particular, the use of instant messaging in eLearning is more effective than face-to-face teaching and learning with respect to the overall performance in the classroom. This leads to the conclusion that eLearning using instant messaging could transform teaching and learning in higher education in developing countries.

“…While extant literature has shown that digital content design affects students' learning (Cabot et al, 2014;Jeong & Yeo, 2014), it fails to elucidate the underlying mechanisms that lead to distinct effects. Additionally, even though studies on kinesthetic learning have increasingly stressed the matching of learning styles between instructors and students (Pritchard, 2017;Sek et al, 2015;Syofyan & Siwi, 2018), they lack adequate exploration of the impact of content design from the standpoint of information delivery. Furthermore, the effectiveness of standardized design norms requires further scrutiny to better regulate content sharing and encourage learners' engagement on CoP platforms (Danieau et al, 2013;Hyman et al, 2014).…”

As a variant of the sharing economy, Communities of Practice (CoP) platforms have allowed kinesthetic learners to acquire skillsets corresponding to their interests for immediate or future use in practice. However, the impact of digital learning content design on kinesthetic learning remains underexplored in the field of information systems. We hence extend prior research by advancing content richness and structure clarity as antecedents affecting kinesthetic learners' digestibility of contents, culminating in differential kinesthetic learning effects. To substantiate our arguments, we collected data from a leading Chinese recipe sharing platform. Whereas content richness was measured in terms of readability, verb richness, and prototypicality, structure clarity was operationalized as block structure, block quantity, and block regularity. Employing a machine learning model, we simulated and tested learners' digestibility of image content embodied within recipes. Plans for future research beyond the current study are also discussed.
