摘要: If the implementation of blended and mobile learning across disciplines is to be maximized, it important for researchers understand how students perceive use wireless handheld devices, in order build on those current practices help facilitate next level adoption. To enhance that understanding, this chapter analyzes data from 228 survey questionnaires conducted October November 2008. Students were enrolled two faculties at authors’ institution. Questions explored students’ views opinions about uses such as personal digital assistants, PCs, smart phones, teaching activities. The draws a case study method using factor regression analysis interpret questionnaire responses devices higher education. The principal findings included behavior attitude contribute strongly perceived performance chosen context, facilitating conditions have more complex mediated relationship with one hand other. authors elaborate implications increasing alignment several different interfaces related early 21st century.
