Technology Based Model of a Mobile Knowledge as a Service to Facilitate Education Community

Abstract

Technological enhancements as well as the demand of students to access learning information on time and quickly has resulted to the development of e-learning across the world. Mobile learning has been adopted by most learning institution as a mobile technology that allows learners to access learning materials and share information among themselves and respective educators easily and quickly. This article discusses the intention of users in learning environment adopting m-learning, their perceptions as well as factors that hinder implementation of m-learning in the gulf region. Effective mobile technology adoption also enhances knowledge management through mobile applications that allow information capture, storage, retrieval and sharing. This study uses systematic literature review to collect information from post 2017 studies previous conducted by other researchers. Articles were searched through highly ranked databases from which 657 journals were identified. After the screening and eligibility assessment, 24 journals were retrieved. The back and forward search retrieved 4 more journals bringing the total to 28 journals that were included in the study. Based on this information, a conceptual model is developed to help assess the m-learning perceptions, adoption intentions and factors influencing its adoption among learning institutions in the gulf region. This model is built based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology. Based on the developed model, main constructs such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influence are greatly impacted by other factors like learner’s creativity and mobility.

Mobile Applications Rating Performance: A Survey

“…In addition, Badawood and AlBadri discussed in their paper [34] the purpose of users in the learning environment to accept and adopt mobile learning, their perceptions and considerations that obstruct the implementation of mobile learning in the gulf region. Their paper used a systematic literature review to gather information from post-2017 studies.…”

Improving Digital Pedagogy Competence Through In- Service Training for Elementary School Teacher

“…Increasing teacher competence in digital is how to integrate technology in learning [24][25]. [31]. One that is no less important is how to design digital learning that contains character values as a national education goal in Indonesia.…”

Supporting Factors for the Implementation of Mobile Learning for Elementary School Students Using an Authentic Approach and Real-World Activities

“…Many factors were discovered as a result of the research, including the fact that mobile device is performed using concept maps, through videos, figures or graphics, and materials associated with daily life activities. The use of mobile device is supported by the creativity possessed by students, in order to learn more optimally, even though they are at home [29].…”
