Abstract

University students seem primed for mobile learning (m-learning) given their affinity with technology and the ubiquity of mobile computing devices on campuses. However such conditions do not necessarily guarantee their readiness for m-learning. For m-learning to thrive in higher education, it is crucial to understand the factors propelling its adoption. Accordingly this study uncovers factors that drive the adoption of m-learning among university students. Using a mobile learning readiness model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior, data was collected from 900 undergraduates in a local, public university in Malaysia. Partial least squares analysis revealed that all three constructs of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control significantly influenced students’ intention to adopt m-learning. These three constructs were significantly predetermined by their respective external beliefs components. In fostering m-learning adoption among students, more emphasis should be expended to capitalize on subjective norm and improve perceived behavioral control.
