Abstract
Objective: This study is to propose a model that investigates the predictive factors influencing the intention to adopt mobile blackboard. Methods and Analysis: Researchers used quantitative research method. A survey questionnaire with closed questions was also used. A cross-sectional survey was conducted for data collection. A random sample was stratified to target certain respondents (i.e., students at university of Hai’l in Saudi Arabia). The quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 17.0. Findings: The factors of self-management of learning, social influence, perceived playfulness, previous experience, performance expectancy, and effort expectancy are positively effect on the behavioral intention to adopt mobile blackboard as expected, except for the cost factor. Although the users’ previous experience has a negative moderating effect on the correlation for both effort expectancy and the intention to adopt the mobile blackboard system, while it didn’t affect the relation between intentions to adopt mobile blackboard with performance expectancy factor. Novelty/Improvement: This study developed an innovative mobile learning model, and assured the validity of the learning model in this context. Researchers recommended employing the new conceptual model in different settings, technologies, and countries.Keywords: Course Management System, Electronic Learning, Intention to Adopt, Learning Management System, Mobile Blackboard, Mobile Learning
Highlights
As smartphone usage continues to increase worldwide, it is expected that the global smartphone penetration will reach 60% in 2019
According to the mentioned evidences, this study proposes that: H7: Mobile experience has a positive effect on the intention to adopt M-blackboard system in university of Hail in Saudi Arabia
The questionnaire was primarily formulated in English; it was necessary to translate it into Arabic, as this study was conducted in Saudi Arabia, where Arabic is the official language
Summary
As smartphone usage continues to increase worldwide, it is expected that the global smartphone penetration will reach 60% in 2019. In Saudi Arabia, the Saudi government continues to invest in the development of telecommunications infrastructure, The developed telecommunications infrastructure along with the widespread mobile penetration, especially among young people (including university students), presents the opportunity of extensive implementation of modern mobile educational technologies such as a mobile blackboard ( m-blackboard). M-learning alludes to reachthe students at any time and place through the utilization of remote web Predictive Factors for the Intention to Adopt a Mobile Blackboard Course Management System: The Case Study of University of Hai’l in Saudi Arabia and mobile technology[5]. Since universities need to have a competitive environment that convoy technology growth, many factors could impact the usage of m-learning in higher education context. Limited studies have been run to investigate factors impacting the adoption of M-LMS14, 13 have called for further researches to determine why students use M-LMS
