Abstract
Quality features are one of the most important issues that should be considered during the development of Mobile Social Networks (MSN) applications in learning environments. These features are considered one of the most important factors for the successful development of any system. In order to increase the chance of the successful development of MSN applications, there need to identify well-defined set of quality features for MSN applications adoption in the learning environment. Therefore, this study proposes a model that captures most important quality features of MSN applications based on extending the DeLone and McLean information systems success model empirically. The proposed model of this study is examined empirically through a survey of 235 students. The findings also indicate that there are positive relationships between students satisfaction, behavioral intention to use with the overall quality features. The proposed model presents for researchers and designers the most important quality features as guidelines to design and develop MSN applications with a positive effect on students’ behavioral intention to use of MSN applications, and this situation can lead to enhance the learning outcomes using this new application.
Highlights
Social networks (SNs) have changed the ways in which users converse and connect with who share similar personal, activities, career interests, real-life connections, or backgrounds [1]
Descriptive statistics analysis is used for all questionnaire items for their mean, standard deviation, and skewness and kurtosis for testing the normality of data
The results showed that the values of mean ranged from (3.82) to (4.21) on a five-point scale, which indicated that most of the students satisfies with the items in this study
Summary
Social networks (SNs) have changed the ways in which users converse and connect with who share similar personal , activities, career interests, real-life connections , or backgrounds [1]. MSNs are social networks where individuals or organizations communicate and interact with each other through their mobile devices [2]. In Jordan, the last statistics, made at the end of 2017, indicate that users of Facebook accounted for 5.3 million users [3]. Such high penetration (53.5% of Jordanian population) indicates the importance of Facebook and the SNs domain for the youth of today
