International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, v15 n2 2023
Mobile learning provides more flexibility and holds considerable promise for improving the learning process and promoting lifelong learning. In order to reduce the sense of isolation felt by the learners, this research integrates mobile learning in the blended synchronous learning environment (BSLE). This study proposed a mobile learning model in BSLE at Shanghai Open University, and 51 students' satisfaction and engagement surveys were examined. The results showed that student satisfaction with instruction and with interaction can significantly predict behavioral engagement, while satisfaction with instruction and with technology can significantly predict psychological engagement. The findings prove that the mobile learning mode in the blended synchronous learning environments is effective and contributes to the predictors of student engagement. Thus, it can provide some insights to construct a more flexible and effective learning space.
