Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 9. Proportion of indicators used in the case studies
<p>Figure 9 presents the indicators used for evaluating the effectiveness of mobile and ubiquitous learning practices. Learning achievements (64%) and perceived usefulness (56%) were the two most frequently used, followed by motivation (26%), ease of use (26%) and satisfaction (24%).<br> cognitive load (12%), system usage (8%), self-efficacy (6%) and social engagement (2%). Those indicators were usually adopted in the studies using qualitative methods for data collection. The results suggest a possible relationship between the data collection methods and the indicators. The choices of indicators represent, in principle, how the effectiveness of mobile and ubiquitous learning practices can be most appropriately evaluated and presented using particular study methods.</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 8. Functions of the mobile devices used in the practices (Note: Each case could involve the use of more than one function.)
<p>Figure 8 captures the functions of mobile devices used in the practices. The results show that tailor-made applications for specific practices were most common (74%), followed by the use of a speaker (32%) and a camera (26%), where learners had to listen to audio materials using speakers or access online information by scanning QR-codes through cameras. In the various practices, other functions were also used, such as messaging (16%) for interacting with diverse parties and GPS (14%) for outdoor learning activities. For the practices using older models of mobile devices without cameras, tools such as an RFID reader (8%) were used for accessing information via communication tags.</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 5. Level of intervention of the studies
<p>Figure 5 illustrates the levels of intervention of the studies. Most studies concentrated on the course level (76.9%) and some on either the programme level (13.5%) or the institutional level (9.6%). Two studies were conducted at more than one level. These results supplement the above number of participants where most of the studies were conducted on a small scale.</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 6. Purposes of using mobile devices for learning
<p>Figure 6 shows the purposes of mobile and ubiquitous learning in the studies. A majority of the cases were multi-purpose (54%). Those with a single specific purpose were focused on “practice or revision” (34%) and “knowledge acquisition” (10%). There was a case where the application was to help new students to become familiar with the campus and teach them about the use of the facilities.</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 1. Geographical distribution of the case studies
<p>The 50 cases of mobile and ubiquitous learning practices covered 14 countries/regions, including China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Turkey, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. Figure 1 shows the geographical distribution of the cases. Among the 50 cases, 70% were conducted in Asia, 16% in Europe, 4% in Oceania, 4% in Africa, and 2% in North America. Therefore, the results of this study represent more of the situation in Asia.</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 7. Level of interactivity of the studies
<p>Figure 7 presents the level of interactivity in using mobile devices. Sixty percent of the cases involved only one-way access for information either online or offline, while 8% involved social interaction with information exchange among learners. Also 32% of the cases included both levels of interactivity in learning.</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 4. Number of participants in the studies
<p>Figure 4 shows the number of participants in the studies, with the majority being on a small scale, having less than 100 participants (72%). Twenty percent of the studies involved over 100 but less than 1,000 participants, and only two cases included more than 1,000 participants (4%).</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 2. Data collection methods of the studies (Note: A study may involve more than one method.)
<p>Figure 2 shows the data collection methods applied in the studies. Surveys were used in most of the selected cases (94%), followed by interviews (38%) and experiments (34%). Apart from these approaches, observation (12%), field materials (8%), video recordings (6%) and discussion threads (2%) were also used in some of the studies. Thirty of the cases involved the use of more than one method, mostly combining a survey and another one or more method. These suggest that most of the studies involved quantitative data at least in part.</p>
Success in Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning: Indicators of Effectiveness-Figure 3. Education level of the studies
<p>Figure 3 presents the education levels of the mobile and ubiquitous learning practices. Most studies took place at the tertiary level (66.7%). Also, 25.5% of the studies were conducted at the primary school level and 7.8% at the secondary school level.</p>
