Abstract
ABSTRACT With the advent of smartphones, the means of information exchange have significantly changed. Technological innovations such as m-learning via smartphones are important for future education because they provide many benefits such as the ability to learn at any time and from any location. The study aims to investigate the student’s adoption intention of m-learning apps framed by e-WOM in the context of Signalling theory. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on university students in India. Smart-PLS 3.0 was used to analyse the data. The model explains 58.2% of the variance in user engagement from e-WOM (user-generated and marketer-generated) and 49% of the intention to use. The findings reveal that e-WOM as a signal moves from the sender (marketer in this study) to the receiver (students in the present context), which develops the m-learning app engagement, leading to trust. Furthermore, the findings confirm the impact of user trust on the adoption intention of m-learning Apps. The conclusion, implications and limitations are presented.
