Learners Preferences in Mobile-Assisted Higher Education

This paper presents the case study of the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. The study reflects results of the research conducted at the institution to discover learners' preferences in higher mobile-assisted education. Particularly, it focuses on two didactic questions: (1) whether all students, not only of those enrolled in IT study programs, are sufficiently equipped with mobile devices so that they were not limited in their exploration for educational purposes, and (2) how mobile devices are exploited within the teaching/learning process there. More than two hundred students administered the questionnaire of 12 multiple-choice questions. The results proved students owned various types of mobile devices with different operation systems, which brought some limitations, and exploited them for both the educational and non-educational purposes.
