Abstract
Effective evaluation of mobile learning applications includes consideration of them from three different important perspectives – technical, usability and pedagogical. Our literature review revealed three different types of context-aware mobile learning applications – location-dependent, location-independent and situated learning. Our theoretical framework – mobile and context-aware adaptive learning schedule (mCALS) was constructed. This uses a proactive approach – the learner’s schedule (i.e. an electronic organizer) to retrieve the location and time available contexts. Other contexts are also considered – learning styles, knowledge level, concentration level and frequency of interruption. Thereafter, appropriate learning materials will be recommended to students based on this information. Our pedagogical interview study formed the first part of our evaluation study. For our usability feasibility study, we utilized a ‘diary: diary-questionnaire’ research methodology, which together with the preliminary data analysis, forms the focus of this paper. 32 undergraduate and postgraduate university students participated in our study. The results gained from this study have helped us further refine the final requirements of our framework.
