Abstract:
The portability of m-learning presents innovative opportunities for educators and the learners they serve. However, how prepared are our students to incorporate this option into their current academic routines? This study focused on the current state of m-learning as it applies to high school juniors and seniors. Learners participating in technology related courses were targeted. It was decided that these learners would be more likely to have experience and valuable feedback in the area of mobile devices being used for learning. The results from this study came from data compiled on 130 high school juniors and seniors in technology related courses. A total of 8 high schools were studied. Kentucky provided data from 6 high schools, 2 high schools in Ohio participated, and 1 high school in Virginia. Prior to the study it was predicted that motivation would be high for the use of mobile devices for learning. In addition, learners were assumed to be already using their mobile devices to obtain information beyond mere social activities. As growth in this area continues, it was determined that the safety factor should also be examined. The results are consistent with these forecasts.
