Abstract

The
potential impact of mobile devices on higher education, our understanding of
the issues surrounding the use of mobile technology for providing access to
library and information resources, and their impact on lifelong learning
opportunities are unclear and still evolving. Attempts to apply information
adoption models to explain student use and intention to use audio, video,
mobile services, and mobile learning have been limited and need further
investigation to determine whether these models need modification to address
mobile technology acceptance. This paper analyzes college students’ acceptance
attributes based upon Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) framework towards using the
m-learning. 

Keywords
