“…Ko, Chiu, Lo, and Ho (2015) have revealed that "based on the autonomy feature of m-learning that allows learners to take charge of their own learning progress, it is generally agreed that m-learning is more suitable for self-regulated learning" (p. 568). Moreover, Dold (2016) has suggested that in mobile learning environments, self-directed learning will help learners achieve better and deeper learning outcomes. Although there is a growing interest in mobile-assisted language learning studies, limited efforts have been made to investigate the impact of SML on mobile language learning performance.…”

Although there is a plethora of mobile learning studies, relatively little attention has been paid to the roles of self-management of learning and personal learning initiative on mobile English learning outcomes. Accordingly, the primary purpose of this study is not only to examine the links between perceived flexibility advantage, self-management of learning, mobile English learning continuance intention and performance, but also to explore the moderating role of personal learning initiative in mobile language learning outcomes. A total of 323 undergraduate students with mobile English learning experience took part in this study. The partial least-squares structural equation modelling analysis and SPSS PROCESS (model 7) were utilised to assess the data. The study findings have not only indicated the perceived flexibility advantage and self-management of learning will have a positive influence on mobile English learning continuance intention and performance, but also revealed that mobile English learning continuance intention will mediate the link between perceived flexibility advantage and mobile English learning performance. Moreover, it has been found that personal learning initiative will play a moderating role in reinforcing the positive relationship between perceived flexibility advantage and mobile English learning continuance intention.

“…It supports learners within and outside of the formal education system, enabling them to be active participants and not just passive recipients of knowledge [6]. Via the platform created by mobile learning, students and researchers can obtain access to useful resources without being physically present at the geographical location where such materials are stored in libraries [15][16][17]. This platform breaks through the constraints which the classroom introduces in terms of its temporal and physical boundaries, thus making information available and not restricted by time or place of learning [1].…”

The advances of technology resulting in the proliferation of mobile devices have changed the way we live and have necessitated the restructuring of the educational system. This can be employed to aid student's participation in research studies. This study aims at promoting-research in universities amongst students by giving them the opportunity to exercise their scholarly abilities, easy access to research projects carried out by other students, collaboration with other students with similar research inclinations as well as gain visibility before the school management or companies interested in granting scholarships to outstanding works. This project is implemented using JavaScript, HTML and CSS for the front-end; Node.js, a JavaScript framework for the back-end and MongoDB for the database. It is a web application that enables the students to upload their research works, view the research of others and collaborate with peers. This system has a high potential to enhance student participation in universities' research studies.

“…Much has been written in the LIS literature over the past decade about the ways that mobile devices are changing information seeking and retrieval, and the implications for academic libraries in providing outreach, reference, instruction, and access to resources (see Barnhart and Pierce 2011;Bridges, Gascho Rempel, and Griggs 2010;Dold 2016;Dukic, Chiu, and Lo 2015;Murray 2010). The rise of mobile devices has prompted many to consider how librarians and educators can utilize them to reach the current generation of students.…”

Habituated: A Merleau-Pontian Analysis of the Smartphone

This paper offers a phenomenological account of our relationship to our smartphones rooted in the work of philosophers Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) and Drew Leder (1954. We argue that the nature of this relationship has implications for the ways we conceptualize and promote information literacy in the era of mobile ubiquity. After reviewing recent LIS literature on mobile devices in libraries, we discuss Merleau-Ponty's notion of the habit body and Drew Leder's development of the Merleau-Pontian concept of incorporation. We then apply these concepts to our use of smartphones, paying particular attention to the incorporation of the smartphone in our bodily habit and what this means for our relationship to the information we access on this device. The paper concludes by considering how the insights from this analysis of the smartphone could be integrated into existing information literacy conversations through the lens of dispositions.
