FACTORS INFLUENCING THE LEARNING PERFORMANCE OF u-LEARNING SYSTEMS

This study examines the factors that are associated with user satisfaction of ubiquitous learning (u-Learning), where in four major factors are identified that influence interaction and learning performance. A survey of 226 u-Learning users was conducted and the data collected was used to test theoretically expected relationships. To verify the research model, the validity through the model's factor and reliability analyses was inspected. The results of the analyses, by LISREL, are as follows. First, the ubiquitous characteristics such as pervasive connectivity and context awareness had significant influence on the effectiveness of the u-Learning systems. Second, the learner's characteristics such as academic motivation and flow played an important role in the effectiveness of u-Learning systems. Third, the learner's interaction factors had an important influence regarding the performance of u-Learning systems.
