Determining distance education students’ readiness for mobile learning at University of Ghana


This study investigated University of Ghana Distance Education students’ perceptions toward mobile learning. The paper using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) explained how students’ beliefs influenced students’ intention to adopt m-learning. Findings from the study showed that most of the students had mobile phones, and used them for conversation and texting. Factor analysis was further conducted which showed strong loadings of factors such as intentions and perceived behavioural control confirming that the TPB explained the students’ m-learning readiness very well. Thus, attitude, subjective norm and behavioural control influenced students’ intention to adopt m-learning.
