A Theoretical End User Factor Model That Supports Mobile Learning

RICHARD K. NYAKUNDI, STEPHEN KIMANI, CYRUS ABANTI

Abstract: Education systems around the world are transitioning from the conventional educational practices to digitized learning. However the adoption remains largely unrealized in economically transitioning countries due to low adoption of usage factors. This is as a result of learning institutions’ focus on the technical supply-side factors with little emphasis on the end user factor perspective of mobile learning. There has been inadequate research and development in IT usage factors to inform education sector’s uptake of Mobile Learning adoption in learning institutions. While a number of adoption models have been proposed and applied to the developed countries, they require domestication in order to address the specific consumer needs of developing nations. This study therefore develops a theoretical model which best support learner centered adoption in educational institutions.

Keywords: Mobile Learning adoption, e-learning.
