“…Pedagogical processes can also be carried out in full or partly with mobile technologies (Oran & Karadeniz, 2007) thereby increasing lifelong learning in both formal and informal educational settings . This goes to prove that mobile learning technology offers the potential for improved teaching and learning (Shen, Luo, & Sun, 2015). It is also worthy of note that the size of these mobile devices have made it widely accepted particularly by learners who are always on the move (Sharples, Taylor, & Vavoula, 2005).…”

Although the National ICT Policy for Education in Namibia was adopted in 2005, immediately followed by the National ICT Policy Implementation Plan in 2006, no known studies have been undertaken so far to evaluate its implementation. This has made it difficult to ascertain the ICT/mobile learning readiness of teachers and learners. This study analyzed the perceptions of learners and teachers towards mobile learning in Namibian High Schools. A mixed method approach, comprising a baseline survey and interviews with randomly sampled learners and teachers from three high schools in the Hardap region of Namibia was undertaken. Both qualitative and quantitative data was solicited on learner and teacher perceptions on mobile learning. The survey questionnaire, which was based on modified version of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to make the questions suitable to the context of mobile learning was used. Unstructured interviews were used to supplement the questionnaire where gaps were identified. The data collected was then analyzed for descriptive and inferential statistics using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).The results among others showed that even though that majority of teachers and learners in Namibia own mobile devices which can be used for mobile learning, introduction of mobile technology in schools would only work in an environment where there is a sound ICT infrastructure. Affordable internet access and skilled ICT teachers are also a challenge.

“…Since the late 1990s, as belief variables in technology acceptance model is too simple, and that the limitation of being measured as a single item is perceived, extended studies by revising model or introducing various factors have been proposed (Venkatesh, 2000;Choi, 2012). And Davis et al (1992), and Shen et al (2015) suggested the technology acceptance model that perceived availability and perceived ease of use effect directly on behavioral intention, except for attitude variables (Davis, 1992;Shen et al, 2015). Also, this model suggested factors that can affect perceived availability social influences or work-relatedness and cognitive tools such as image and quality, and factors that can affect perceived ease of use are self-efficacy and anxiety about technology, curiosity, interest and pleasure.…”

This study was intended to investigate the continuous use intention of corporate mobile SNS users and its determinants on the basis of extended technology acceptance model. For this purpose, this study examined user and social characteristics as independent variables and perceived ease of use and perceived availability as mediating variables. The sample of this study was composed of 332 cooperate mobile SNS users collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using SEM technique. This study found that four user and social characteristics of variables impact positively on the two mediating variables and that the two mediating variables have positive effects on continuous use intention. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings were discussed and the policy proposals were suggested.

Learning Management Systems (LMS) have played a significant role in education. The purpose of this study is to investigate the acceptance level of LMS amongst students of two Universities in Tehran, Payamnoor and Farhangian. The total number of participants was 200. This study was directed based on a quantitative research method and data collection from a questionnaire which was then interpreted according to accurate statistical procedures through SPSS software. Results show that most students, regardless their gender, age, and department were satisfied with the usage of Payamnoor and Farhangian LMSs. However, a student’s grades seem to play a significant role regarding his or hers level of satisfaction from the LMS.
