Mobile learning applications are being developed to support the teaching and learning process. The lack of an accepted methodology for developing these applications motivated the establishment of a design science research process for developing mobile learning applications. Design science methodology from the information systems domain was…

Recent studies indicate that academic performance is a complex phenomenon that can be influenced by various factors. Previous studies have also demonstrated a positive and significant relationship between academic performance, academic self-efficacy, and readiness to take advantage of mobile learning tools. The mediating role of mobile learning…

Individuals can learn the art of playing a musical instrument not only in the classroom but also remotely. The main purpose of the paper is to identify the possibilities of an educational online piano course for Chinese students. In the work, it was determined which of the online applications are the most popular in the world for learning. The…

Mobile phones are now used ubiquitously in everyday life around the world. However, using mobile devices for learning activities (i.e. m-learning) is not as popular as initially expected. This study explores the factors that affect m-learning apps acceptance among mobile phone users and investigates how personality, readiness, and motivation…

This study aims to explore how e-textbooks with emotional design affect students' emotion, cognitive load and learning achievement. There were 147 freshman students in total: the experimental group I, II and control group consisted of 49, 47 and 51 students, using e-textbooks with emotional design, without emotional design and traditional paper…

Mobile application developers rely largely on user reviews for identifying issues in mobile applications and meeting the users' expectations. User reviews are unstructured, unorganized and very informal. Identifying and classifying issues by extracting required information from reviews is difficult due to a large number of reviews. To automate the…

The article shows the results of a situational analysis of a case study with the elements of an experiment to find out the expediency of mobile application use in media education. The case study is aimed at researching the process of mobile learning within a single social object -- a group of 32 students, members of the workshop "Young…

The study is devoted to the search for technological solutions to improve and modernize music education aimed at developing fundamental skills of vocal mastery. Optimum technological solutions were identified in order to improve and modernize music education, the functional features of which provide students with the opportunity to master auditory…

The use of Instagram is becoming increasingly popular among students. Excessive Instagram use (EIU) has become a growing problem that can impact students' lives psychosocially. This study applied uses and gratifications theory (UGT) to explore the impact of social gratification, content gratification, and entertainment along with social presence,…

In this paper, we address the issue of the design and deployment of VR-oriented pedagogical scenarios by teachers as designers. To provide practical and theoretical solutions, we analyse the various existing models and tools for assisting teachers in the design and deployment of virtual reality learning environments (VRLEs). We identify a need for…

Learning the language is crucial to be included in a new society. For migrants, the smartphone is a commonly used device for staying connected, which could also be used for language learning purposes. This research concerns mobile literacy with newly arrived Arabic speaking migrants to Sweden and the use of mobile learning as a means for…

With the rising influence of technology, students have become heavy users of instant messaging applications. It makes one wonder about students' motivations in using these applications and their usage habits. The aims of this study were to analyze the messaging activities of university students in blended classroom groups, to investigate the…

The aim of this study is to investigate the public opinion (i.e., the learners themselves) of apps incorporating emerging technologies Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) and find out how satisfied mobile platform users are with these technologies for educational purposes. We performed sentiment analysis of more than one million…

Tiny and affordable computers (e.g. Raspberry Pi and Arduino) have been widely applied to technology-enhanced hands-on learning (THL). However, little scholarly attention has been devoted to the key factors behind students' performance in THL contexts. Therefore, this study not only helped the participants learn computer science through THL, but…

With the advancement of mobile technology, mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) has significant potential regarding its practical applications and benefits in foreign language learning. Nevertheless, little research was conducted to examine factors regarding the facilitation of oral communication through MALL based on established theories or…
